Public Lecture

An in-conversation event with writer-director Alexander Zeldin, discussing his new version of AntigoneThe 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 ConfessionsFaithHope and Charity, and Visiting Fellow with TORCH's Cultural Programme, discuss his new adaptation of Antigone.

This event is free and open to all. No booking is required.
