Antigone by Sophocles, a modern adaptation by JADA Senior Academy
Director Jack Eccles
Set in the heart of working-class England, this gripping adaptation of Antigone thrusts an ancient struggle into a stark, modern reality. In a world where power is hoarded and voices are silenced, one woman stands against a patriarchal system built on control, conformity, and masculinity. As family loyalty collides with state law, Antigone’s defiance becomes a powerful act of rebellion to keep her families honour intact —challenging not just authority, but the very structures that uphold it. Raw, urgent, and unflinching, this production asks: what are we willing to risk to do what’s right?
