Antigone

About this event

Recommended Age Guide 14+ The battle has been won; the soldiers have returned victorious and the dead have been buried. But not all of them. Antigone’s brother has been deemed a traitor and must be punished, even in death. Filled with rage and a powerful sense of justice, Antigone takes matters into her own hands, all while her little sister Ismene watches on, torn between loyalty and common sense. The war may be over, but Antigone is ready to start a fight, no matter how devastating the consequences. It’s like there is this thing; That is more important than everything; And it’s not about our brother; Or about me; It’s about knowing what it is that is right . “Lulu Raczka’s messy, modern-day retelling of Sophocles classic brings this timeless story of a girl standing up for what she believes kicking and screaming into the 21st century, placing two wild and witty sisters at the centre of the tale. An electric reimagining of an ancient Greek tragedy, this intimate two-hander is perfect for people who don’t think they like Greek tragedy.” – Finn den Hertog, Director Cast: Eilidh Loan, Holly Howden Gilchrist Written by LULU RACZKA (after Sophocles) Directed by FINN DEN HERTOG Set & Costume Designer MILLA CLARKE Associate Set & Costume Designer CHANTAL JAREM Lighting Designer EMMA JONES Sound & Video Designer LEWIS DEN HERTOG Movement Director VICKI MANDERSON Running time approx. 95 minutes with no interval.
