Alexander Zeldin in conversation about The Other Place, a New Antigone

An in-conversation event with theatre director Alexander Zeldin, discussing his new version of Antigone, The Other Place (National Theatre, London, 2024). In conversation with Fiona Macintosh (St Hilda's) and Laura Swift (Magdalen).

In The Other Place, 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 demands 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?

Join us to hear Alexander Zeldin, director of The Confessions; Faith, Hope and Charity, discuss his new adaptation of Antigone.
