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.

What People Say
-
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 -
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 -
