ANTI GONE is a newly commissioned two-hander play written by the Russian playwright Evgeniya Palekhova. Evgeniya’s latest two plays were staged at Theatre Doc in Moscow (‘Russia’s most daring theatre’ (BBC).
In this contemporary take on Sophocles tragedy, directed by an award-winning director Ovlyakuli Khodzhakuli, Xameleon Theatre explores the subjects of tyranny, abuse of power and living under dictatorship regimes.
Antigone is an arresting and timely re-imagining of the eponymous classical Greek tragedy. It presents a haunting story of a torn family and a woman who dared to say “No” in a country shaken down by unrest and tyranny.
