Roy Williams' adaptation of Antigone received its world premiere at Derby Theatre, in a co-production between Pilot Theatre, Derby Theatre and Theatre Royal, Stratford East, before going on a national tour. This new, edited edition is published for the first time in Methuen Drama's Plays for Young People series, aimed at 16-18 year olds.
"Williams transposition works well. For young audiences, all too aware of gang-related killings, it demonstrates vividly that the great classical plays are anything but remote, that the profound questions at their core about human behaviour are still with us in this case, that revenge, summary justice and unbending codes of honour may seem to offer answers but in fact simply perpetuate grief." --Financial Times
