Hope it is ok to post this on the main board.

This production of Sophocles's Antigone is currently playing at the Barbican in London.

BBC4 aired a live showing of it on Sunday in the UK. It's available to watch for the next 28 days on i-player - I think you need Hola to atch it outside the UK. (Thanks HorseTears)

Thought someone may be interested in seeing it.

Very stripped back production, plan to watch it myself later.

I'll be seeing this at the Kennedy Center this fall. I believe they're doing about 3 or 4 performances. Can't wait to see it, Binoche is one of the greats.

She is, Jordan! I flipped out when I saw it listed on their season as if it weren't a big deal.

I wouldn't waste your time watching it; the show is a mess. Binoche's talent is wasted, as she screams and shouts her through the show. It has no heart and the direction is more like a staged reading. 

I was really disappointed.
