Something I noticed while reading Oedipus Rex was the amount of interpretation left open, even for a drama. In Trifles the characters were, more or less, set out; we were told by the writer where they stand, how they move, etc, but in Oedipus the characters can have any tone of voice, any type of body language, in other words, the actors and directors of a stage performance of this play can bend it to their own creativity, the only thing binding them is the dialogue and plot.
