"Antigone Retold is something I wish I’d done. It was ambitious. Without being alienating. But it was also intellectual. Without being self-conscious. Educational. Without being boring... The theatre scene in Dubai needs more Antigone Retolds to make people sit up and take notice. Of everything theatre can be. And everything theatre can do." ~ Madhurima Ray, award-winning theatre writer and critic
​
"The production went beyond entertainment – which it also delivered – but it was a way in which various arts came together, where the lines that so often divide the various arts were blurred and where the audience felt noticed and involved. The Dubai cultural scene needs more wholesome performing arts driven productions like Antigone Retold where thoughts are provoked and where the conversation continues during the drive back home." ~ Dr Lamya Tawfik, creative collaborator

THE QUEEN:
Driven to demotion my twin taunts me from across the board,
I move in any direction
Side lined and squandered on black and on white
I am the Queen (powerful, yet overpowered)
I have navigated this board
from the very beginning
Been called Lady, Fers, even Vizier
Every change in roles meant a change in rules
Serving King after King after King after King
Yet I am still most powerful piece in this queendom of squares
(overpowered, yet powerful)
And I know just what to do next...
