You can't leave a body -
Leave your brother's body -
Leave it there, like that -
Antigone's brother has died in a bloody civil war. The king - her uncle - has forbidden anyone to bury the body. Antigone is going to bury the body anyway.
Twenty-five centuries after Antigone, seven performers gather to re-tell the tale of what is buried and what comes of it. Ancient Greece crashes into the contemporary, as Sophocles' classic tragedy shines a scorching light onto our current world.
Nina Segal's modern adaptation brings Antigone blazing into the present day. Her previous work includes Cow | Deer (Royal Court), We Are The Lucky Ones (Dutch National Opera) and Shooting Hedda Gabler (Rose Theatre).
This edition was published to coincide with the production at Chichester Festival Theatre in September 2026.
Nina Segal is a playwright and screenwriter. She was the recipient of the 2022 Playwright's Scheme Award and was shortlisted for the 2020 George Devine Award. Her first play In the Night Time (Before the Sun Rises) opened at the Gate Theatre to critical acclaim and subsequently had productions across Europe. In 2023, Nina's translation of The Good Person of Szechwan was performed at the Lyric Hammersmith and her original play Shooting Hedda Gabler opened at the Rose Theatre, both of which received excellent reviews. In 2024, she was under commission to Dutch National Opera and the RSC. On screen, she has written for The Crown and Hanna. Her short film Capture for the Financial Times has been acclaimed for giving an insight into the issue of online harm to young people and has run alongside debate around the online safety bill.
