The Other Place: After Antigone

No what I think is there are people who are suffering and you can't go through your life as if they aren't there and you don't help them? If everyone did that what kind of world would that be?

Two sisters reunite on the anniversary of the death of their father. Their uncle has remodelled their family home, in an attempt at a fresh start. But one sister's sudden reappearance threatens to shatter this fragile idyll as she demand justice for the pain she carries.

Amid the debris and the new extension, guilt, grief and greed battle it out in the family's competing dreams of their future. When we are faced with the suffering of others, even those closest to us, can we look away?

This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at London's National Theatre in October
