Antigone (on strike) is at the Park Theatre [Nir Segal D]

ALEXANDER Raptotasios’s bold reimagining of Sophocles’ Greek tragedy explores how the media shapes politics and public discourse on immigration, human rights and extremism. Inspired by the true stories of young women from the UK who became so called “Isis Brides”, Antigone [on strike] follows law student Antiya as she campaigns to bring her sister Esmeh back from Syria. The audience are invited to vote on the narrative as Raptotasios interrogates how our choices are weaponised. Park90, 7pm, Mon-Sat, to Feb 22. parktheatre.co.uk/
