Antigone (by Watson and Sutherland)

#Antigone is a play devised by Wendy Watson and Kenlynn Sutherland.

The original text

The basic story line is taken from the play by Sophocles, but it has been adapted for 21st century South African teenage performers and audiences, utelising contemporary references, including two TV news studios and field reporters giving regular updates of the action. Two narrators are also employed to explain the story and move the action along – while a very accomplished group of drummers provide dramatic bridges between scenes.
