About Mythography
Antigone is an adaptation of Jean Anouilh's Antigone by semi-professional company Mythography, performed at Salle Emilienne Moreau-Evrard as part of Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Irreverent and full of rage, this bold rewriting of an eternal myth asks questions about a splintering world. It is a story about youth on the brink — a cry of absolute idealism and existential rage from a generation grappling with what it takes to grow up. The production runs for 120 minutes and is suitable for audiences aged 12 and over. Content warnings include distressing or potentially triggering themes and strobe lighting.
Why see this show?
Anouilh's Antigone is one of the great plays about refusing to comply, and Mythography's adaptation channels genuine rage into a production described as urgent and haunting. At 120 minutes it commits fully to the material — a serious, emotionally demanding piece of theatre for those who want more than a comfortable night out.
