So who are we?
The Antigone Collective is a York based theatre collective, producing human rights related work. Our company strives to explore issues and questions related to human rights, their complexity and nuanced philosophical reality. We were founded in September 2014 by University of York students and artistic directors, Minna Jeffery and Marta Donati. We produce thought-provoking plays tackling complex issues related to human rights and human rights infringements. Our debut production was an adaptation of George Orwell's Animal Farm, and since then we have produced both new writing (The Eternal Future by Sam Hickford), as well as returning to classic texts (Antigone by Sophocles).
Praise for 'Animal Farm': "With their bold production of a poignant political allegory, Antigone Collective has left their audience eager for the next instalment" Uknown Magazine
"The performance certainly did the classic text justice, and impressed the audience with its all-encompassing diversity" Nouse
