antigone 1998

Translated by David Stuttard after Sophocles.

Adding to a high calibre performance the simple but effective set and some beautifully atmospheric music. In all, a truly classic night out.Stirling Observer

Classic and timeless….in a nicely-judged portrayal of stubborn tyranny by Mark Katz, Creon came across as a cruel and demanding power broker. Halifax Evening Courier

This year the company surpassed themelves with a visually stunning and extremely coherent setting and atmosphere…Tamsin Shasha was brilliantly cast here as the heroine..she was able to meld a proud intransigence with a delicacy that really suited her. Tom Davidson showed the greatest virtuosity in playing the Sentry and Teiresias..a suitable comical plebian guard and a wonderfully pompous and grandiloquent soothsayer. Russell Shone, JACT
