Skill and passion Antigone is the latest play from the Almost a Bird Collective, which produced the unforgettable The Glass Menagerie at Circa late last year.

Astutely orchestrated and dynamically paced with visceral eloquence One may also quip, then, that the compulsive lovers fiddle with each other’s emotions while Rome’s hitherto failing fortunes are rekindled by Octavius Caesar. But “fiddle” doesn’t cut it. We’re dealing with profound passions here. [more] |
