ANTIGONE: THE DESCENT ACROSS THE BRIDGE OF ACHERON
J Studios, 2009
"In Melbourne's theatre scene, Liminal Theatre stands alone in the breadth of the cultural dialogue that informs its practice....The script distils the dramatic essence of Antigone: veering between wild poetry and aphorism, oppression and defiance. And the acting ensemble largely brings an acute linguistic intelligence, carrying the audience inexorably forward on a tragic tide."
Cameron Woodhead, The Age, June 28 2009 - read full review
