Reviews
“The cast is superb…both funny and thought provoking; an amazing and entertaining achievement for one of the most tragic tales in history.” North West End
“A truly outstanding production.” Fringe Review
“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
