[ noun ] (Greek mythology) queen of Thebes who unknowingly married her own son Oedipus <noun.person>
Equally fine are Claire Bloom as Jocasta, John Shrapnel as Creon and Juliet Stevenson as Antigone.
Robert Lindsay was Oedipus; Dorothy Tutin, Jocasta; Paul Daneman, Creon; beside these, I admired the Corinthian and Theban shepherds of David Ryall and Cyril Shaps, their speech so ably contrasted with the magisterial delivery of the higher-ups.
