Antigone (London) London Reviews and Tickets

A heroic brother. A misguided son. A torn family in a hostile state. One sister is conflicted, while the other is on the run.

Although Ancient Thebes has survived a civil war, it has come at a cost. Following a bloody battle for the throne, Creon declares himself king and orders that the body of Polyneices must be left unburied. Anyone who defies this order will be killed. Antigone is resolute that she will bury her brother, Polyneices, even if it may result in her own death.

Max Webster directs this adaptation that rounds off Regent's Park Open Air Theatre's 2022 season.
