Antigone may be centuries old, but the story remains just as powerful, thousands of years since it was first performed. Nina Segal's bold new adaptation shines a spotlight on the captivating tragedy and draws striking parallels with our current world. Here's your first look in the stunning new production photos.

Antigone Exits is now open in the Minerva Theatre for a strictly limited run, which must end 17 October.

Nina Cassells makes her CFT debut as Antigone. At the heart of the story is her determination to do what she thinks is right, no matter the costs.

Max Bennett returns to CFT as Creon, Antigone's uncle and the new king. In the wake of a bloody civil war, Creon issues a decree against the burial of Antigone's brother. Antigone decides to bury him anyway. What follows is the ultimate battle of wills that tears the family apart.

In Nina Segal's compelling new adaptation of this gripping drama, each performer shares a contemporary occurrence or tragedy which resonates with its enduring themes.
