Antigone

Sophocles’s Antigone has had many incarnations by AOD Actors of Dionysus over the years. Most recently in Christopher Adams dystopian version, directed by Tamsin Shasha as a national touring production to 55 venues in 2017. Images by © Alex Brenner. Prior to that we toured David Stuttard‘s version of the play in 2001, 1998 and 1994.

Adams' Antigone shares more than a passing handshake with Anouilh's own, and that commerce is given vigorous life in a performance of noisy, visceral integrity.
Yorkshire Times, 2017
It's to the company's great credit that from this material they have created something so interesting, accessible, and above all enjoyable.
North West End, 2017
loved everything about it, appropriate set, music, loved the use of high-tech language, acting excellent. 10/10

acting was dynamic but subtle - I felt part of the action, innovative adaptation to bring Sophocles into the 23rd-ish century. 10/10

startling production, attack of the senses, demanding, draining, satisfying. Brilliant 10/10

I was absolutely 'blown away . A fantastic performance. This was Sophocles made relevant to the youth of C21st and to open-minded audiences of all ages. Congratulations to the whole company.
Audience feedback, 2017
An astonishingly well-staged production…The final scene showed just why the company is considered to be the UK’s finest exponents of this form of theatre.
Halifax Evening Courier, 2001
Just as I was beginning to wonder exactly why I first became interested in theatre, and sick of all the musicals, along come Actors of Dionysus…This was a show to restore your faith in the genre.
Exeter Express & Echo, 2001
Another riveting production! Thank you for your considerable contribution in keeping the Classics alive!
