Join us for an exclusive afternoon with the artists of Antigone. This preview will include select scenes from the show, the visions of the crew including the directors - Daisy Levell and Dr James Collins - and a Q&A with the incredible cast and crew!
Sophocles, the Athenian tragedian wrote Antigone in either 442 or 440 BCE when it was first performed at the Dionysia in Athens. The story of the Theban princess named Antigone, who was the oldest daughter of Oedipus, the exiled king of Thebes and queen Jocasta.
The University of Sydney’s USU Classics Society, Gaius Gracchus has a long tradition of performances of ancient Greek tragedy and comedy dating back decades, and the 2026 performance of Antigone revitalises this performance history.
