Two brothers, one a former king, and the other an exiled traitor, have died in war. Their grief-stricken sisters, Antigone and Ismene, face the ultimate test as their crown is forcibly taken from them. With the destiny of Thebes lying in the balance, how will the people respond? Everyone has an agenda, everyone has skin in the game, no one’s choice is easy.
But this is not another night at the theatre - far from it. Brace yourself for an enthralling and immersive experience like no other. Stand in the woods with these characters as seven intertwining narratives unfold around you, enveloping you in an astonishing spectacle.
This is an extraordinary journey into the soul of Thebes, where emotions run deep and forgiveness is tested. War has left scars everywhere, and you will bear witness to the struggles of trust and the fight for justice.
