It was first performed at the Half Moon Theatre in London on 11 February 1980, in a production directed by the author. The cast was:
It is a retelling of Sophocles' Oedipus Rex. Berkoff wrote: "Greek came to me via Sophocles, trickling its way down the millenia until it reached the unimaginable wastelands of Tufnell Park ... In my eyes, Britain seemed to have become a gradually decaying island, preyed upon by the wandering hordes who saw no future for themselves in a society which had few ideals or messages to offer them." [1] The play was used as the basis for a well-received opera of the same name composed by Mark-Anthony Turnage and first performed in 1988.[2] References1. ^{{Citation|last=Berkoff|first=Steven|author=|authorlink=Steven Berkoff|coauthors=|editor=|editorn=|editorn-last=|editorn-first=|editor-link=|editorn-link=|others=|title=Decadence and Other Plays|url=|archiveurl=|archivedate=|format=|accessdate=|edition=|series=|volume=|origyear=1980|year=1989|month=|publisher=Faber and Faber|location=London|language=|isbn=0-571-14073-4|oclc=|doi=|doi-broken-date=|bibcode=|id=|page=|pages=|nopp=|at=|chapter=Greek|chapterurl=|quote=|laysummary=|laydate=|postscript=|lastauthoramp=|ref=}} {{Oedipus |state=collapsed}}{{1980s-play-stub}}2. ^Ewans, Michael, [https://books.google.com/books?id=oSSchkXuHUUC&pg=PA183&dq=mark+anthony+turnage+greek&cd=4#v=onepage&q=mark%20anthony%20turnage%20greek&f=false Opera from the Greek: Studies in the poetics of appropriation], Ashgate Publishing, Ltd., 2007, p. 183. {{ISBN|0-7546-6099-0}} 6 : Plays by Steven Berkoff|1980 plays|Plays based on Greek and Roman plays|Adaptations of works by Sophocles|Plays adapted into operas|Plays set in London |
