How to Think the Unthinkable (After Sophocles' 'Antigone')

How to Think the Unthinkable (After Sophocles' 'Antigone')

by Ryan Craig

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.

What would you do?

Press Comment:



'An ingenious take on Antigone' Guardian

'Teens can identify with the teenage girl's desire to risk everything for what she believes is right… [but] there's more than enough to hold the attention of parents.' www.westend.broadwayworld.com

'Admirably lucid and undoubtedly grips the young audience.' The Telegraph
