Do I like Oedipus Rex

This play is interesting to me only when there is action and less talking. The only parts that could be more interesting is when the people are trying to find out who killed the sphinx. Then the person who did kill the sphinx is oedipus and he doesn't even know that the person he killed is the king of Thebes. Those were the interesting parts to me. Now the rest of the play it kind of bores me. The only reason is because of the way it is interpreted in a play. It seems like they were writing it in poem kind of form, and the way they talk it is harder to read and understand. If we don't understand what we are reading the teacher would have to explain in the way we could understand, that is most of the boring part. Other than that it was okay in a boring kind of way.
