Antigone
Directed by Una Reitere
A bold reimagining of Antigone. Set in the charged atmosphere of a royal wedding, where loyalty, power, and grief collide. In the aftermath of civil war, one sister’s defiance of a king’s decree ignites a devastating chain of events, as celebration and catastrophe begin to blur. This urgent adaptation brings Sophocles’ 2,500-year-old tragedy into sharp contemporary focus, asking how we lead, who we listen to, and how we move forward after loss.
Intimate and ensemble-led, the production honours the original text while speaking directly to modern audiences. With a focus on power, leadership, and moral courage, it explores the fragile line between authority and humanity, inviting audiences into a world where ancient questions feel unsettlingly present.
