You can't leave a body –
Leave your brother's body –
Leave it there, like that –
Antigone's brother has died in a bloody civil war. The king – her uncle – has forbidden anyone to bury the body. Antigone is going to bury the body anyway.
Twenty-five centuries after Antigone, seven performers gather to re-tell the tale of what is buried and what comes of it. Ancient Greece crashes into the contemporary, as Sophocles' classic tragedy shines a scorching light onto our current world.
Nina Segal's modern adaptation brings Antigone blazing into the present day. Her previous work includes Cow | Deer (Royal Court), We Are The Lucky Ones (Dutch National Opera) and Shooting Hedda Gabler (Rose Theatre).
This edition was published to coincide with the production at Chichester Festival Theatre in September 2026.
