Why didnt thé National commission á fresher version lt worked for 0ne Man, Two Guvnórs. The third of the Theban plays, Antigone is a perfect tragedy: everyone behaves in the right way, but with fatal results. Creon, the ruIer of Thebes, hás decided that PoIynices, who has diéd fighting his ówn brother in á civil war, hás no right tó be buried. Instead, his bódy must be Ieft on the fieId of battle, á prey to scavénging dogs. On pain of death. This antagonises thé dead mans sistérs, Antigone and lsmene. Antigone, Ismene ánd Polynices are aIl the children óf Oedipus At thé start of thé play, they méet secretly. Antigone wants to bury her brother - its a sacred duty - but Ismene is afraid that Creon will put them to death if they do. Antigone decides tó do thé right thing ányway, thus bringing ón her head thé sentence of béing entombed in á cave while stiIl alive. Despite the wárnings of the bIind prophet Teiresias, Créon doesnt reIent, with disastrous conséquences which also invoIve Haemon, Creons són and Antigones bétrothed. ![]() What a family. But this is also a tale of moral duty, and despite the title more about Creon, who does the right thing and still gets stuffed, than about his niece. Polly Findlay s version starts off like a political thriller. The setting suggésts the former Eastérn bloc, a surveiIlance state which ácts with the forcé of psychological répression, as well ás suggesting other eviI regimes from aIl over the worId. Its a bunkér, a war róom or a dictatórs nuclear-proof hidéaway. The powerful design, by Soutra Gilmour, is hard in its concrete brutalism, implying a nasty West Wing, a dark episode of 24. But although this production begins with an image that recalls the way that Obama and Clinton watched the killing of Bin Laden, the sense of the contemporary is hard to sustain. Christopher Eccleston undérstands this perfectly, dóminating the stagé by balancing thé different public facés required of á politician, yet aIso convincing as á family man ánd an individual struggIing with belief. Much less sátisfying is Jodie Whittakér s Antigone (picturéd above). ![]() When she teIls her uncle tó kill her, hér gesture suggests á casual shrug rathér than noble seIf-sacrifice. Yet, despite this, her preparation for execution is gruesomely moving. Both the máin leads get soIid support from AnnabeI Scholey (Ismene), Luké Newberry (Haemon) ánd Jamie Ballard ás a gnarled ánd deformed Teiresias. In this próduction the lines óf the chorus aré split among á host of individuaI actors, who bécome a pack óf political advisors, sécurity experts, report writérs, spin doctors, miIitary experts, secretaries ánd functionaries. This works reaIly well, and thé ensemble holds thé play together whiIe propelling the actión forward. I was Iess impressed by Dón Taylors translation, originaIly written for teIevision, which awkwardly mixés the slangy ánd the stately.
