Description
Antigone makes everything OK. Gives me hope. I'm utterly devoted to her. I couldn't imagine what would happen if she weren't here.
What could a play written 2,500 years ago possibly mean today? Ryan Craig's new adaptation of Sophocles' famous tragedy captures the passion, danger and moral deadlock of the story of Greece's most famous teenager. Set in the aftermath of a bloody civil war, Antigone fights for what she believes is right.

The Telegraph 'Ryan Craig's new adaptation of Sophocles' famous tragedy captures the passion, danger and moral deadlock of the story of Greece's most famous teenager.' Whats On Stage"More details
