The war is over.The dead have been buried. The traitors have been punished. People feel more alive than they have in a long time. They are ready to start again.But Antigone is not. She will not move on, and she will not forget. She will drag everyone back if she has to.Lulu Raczka's searing adaptation of Sophocles' classic text hands the reins to the young women at its heart, creating something messy, irreverent and vital.
It's the future. But only slightly. There are blackouts. No one knows what's causing them, but that doesn't stop people going missing in them. Now Steph and Bell, a schoolgirl and barmaid, have to search for their missing friend, until the outside world starts infecting the theatre that stands around them.
In a world of globalization and greed, of zero-hour contracts and The Big Bang Theory, violence worms its way into every aspect of our lives.
An innovative play which won four awards at 2014's National Student Drama Festival. A striking debut.
