“In Emily Wotherspoon’s short fan-fiction-esque play, Oedipus at Table¸ she manipulates many of the ancient Greek playwright Sophocles’ writing techniques in such a way that while her writing is markedly different from the legendary Grecian, it simultaneously mirrors it with exquisite precision. The description of the landscape, the numerous dichotomies as well as the consistent themes used throughout shine through in this remarkable piece of writing, doing justice to the delicate yet powerful techniques Sophocles himself used in his play Oedipus the King.”

“Wotherspoon’s fantastic play resounds with readers long after they have read the final word, and there is tell that it may be included as a flashback scenario in the next full length production of the ancient Greek tragedy. Her expertise in the art of imitation of other, similarly talented authors is clear to any true passionate literature fan, with the similarities between herself and Sophocles extending far beyond the few techniques mentioned here (see if you can spot the subtle hints at dramatic irony!). Sophocles sure would be proud.”
