by Sophocles, translated by Frank McGuinness Directed by Tim Coker Movement Director Ellen Finlay Lighting Design Mark Watts

A nation ravaged by disease. Rioting, revolt. A Government unprepared. Partying, out of touch.

Rugby School’s talented young actors tell the age-old story of a leadership torn apart by hubris, guilt and shame. Set in a modern Britain, Sophocles’ tragedy becomes a parable for our times in this brand-new production for Macready Theatre.

Running time: 120 mins, including interval FREE event This show runs 11 - 13 February.
