The Harlequin Theatre is proud to announce its October production of Antigone, a striking new interpretation of Sophocles’ classic drama that explores civil disobedience, moral courage, and the cost of defying power.
Directed by a creative team committed to reimagining classical work for modern audiences, this Antigone places the conflict between personal conviction and political authority at the centre of a visually bold and emotionally charged staging. The production blends contemporary design with the raw intensity of Greek tragedy, offering audiences a fresh perspective on a story that remains urgently relevant.
An exciting new adaptation from Robert Meadows, who brought us George Orwell’s 1984 last season at Harlequin and with an all-female cast.
The October production continues The Harlequin’s commitment to presenting theatre that challenges, inspires, and connects audiences. As part of the anniversary season, Antigone highlights the theatre’s dedication to both classic and contemporary work, showcasing the talent, passion, and creativity of its volunteer performers and production teams.
Harlequin Theatre is a cornerstone of Northwich’s arts community, dedicated to producing high-quality performances and providing opportunities for local talent to shine. With a diverse programme of plays, musicals, and community events, the theatre continues to enrich the cultural life of the region.
