‘What a great piece of theatre! The adaptation by Eamon Flack retains the power of the original, while making it not so much up to date, as timeless.’ ArtsHub

Polyneices and Eteocles, two brothers leading opposite sides in Thebes’ civil war, have both been killed in battle. Creon, the new ruler of Thebes, has declared that Eteocles will be honoured and Polyneices disgraced. The rebel brother’s body will not be sanctified by holy rites, and will lay unburied to become the food of carrion animals. Defying Creon’s edict Antigone buries her brother and in so doing unleashes a terrible tragedy.

Antigone is part of a new series,  CURRENCY CLASSICS, a series of Australian adaptations of classic plays.

The Servant of Two Masters—a rough and tumble, lightning paced world of street theatre and strolling players—is the crowning glory of the Commedia del’Arte tradition that so influenced Shakespeare’s comedies and western theatrics.

Truffaldino couldn’t be happier with his change of circumstance balancing two jobs and earning double the wage. But his ‘masters’ turn out to be separated lovers on the run staying at the same inn. With one disguised as a man, the wily Truffaldino tries to handle the chaos. Hoop-la and hilarity take hold in this comedy of love gone wrong and mistaken identity in romantic Venice. This version of the play was produced by Bell Shakespeare,—to critical acclaim— in 2003 with a return season in 2004.

‘This production is as clever as it is accomplished, and a comic feast.’ The Age
