“In this enjoyable Gielgud staging, director Matthew Warchus, in particular, still doesn’t seem to know quite what to make of Johnny Boyle, or how to handle his subplot.”

“Menzies and D’Arcy, the entrancingly stubborn elder daughter, deliver a climax that sent a series of collective gasps of shock through the audience on the night I went – and which does full justice to the Antigone myth, on which Zeldin’s drama is based.”
