Event information
An epic and lyrical reimagining of the classic story of Antigone, her siblings and her city.
This contemporary retelling of the classic Greek tragedy mixes ancient legend with modern perspective, resulting in a powerful exploration of generational damage, family devotion and how we find hope in the most desperate of places.
Written by Olivier Award-winner Stef Smith and specially commissioned for Guildhall School of Music & Drama, this is the play’s world stage premiere, directed by multi-award winning director Orla O’Loughlin, Guildhall School’s Vice Principal & Director of Drama.
Content warning:
This production contains adult content including strong language, violent scenes, references to self-harm and suicide, scenes of a sexual nature, themes of death, incest, war and child abandonment. There will probably be strobe lighting, haze, smoking on stage, and possibly loud noises.
