Everyone’s talking about Jodie Whittaker but can we also acknowledge the actress playing Ismene? She did a wonderful performance too. Which the bio told her name. She’s wonderful as well
I saw this in the theatre. Fantastic production. Sent tingles down my spine at the end. Forgot Jodie Whittaker played Antigone, though. She was absolutely brilliant.
I was at the recording that night in the audience and nearly walked into one the camera’s trying to find my seat. Great production and worth watching if can.
I wish this was the direction for Jodie’s Doctor. She is a good actress. In Doctor Who she’s given a weak character. On the National Theatre and of course Broadchurch, she is given a good character.
OK this is my favourite play ever and I love Jodie and Chris in it. Gonna check out if the streaming is available worldwide now! Edit: Yes it is. This will be the highlight of my week!
It’s so weird to see an aristocrat character to have an accent. Maybe it’s because i’m not english it seems weird maybe because i have a prejudice on how the greek tragedies should be performed.
I doubt if the original text says this. You interpret Antigone as you please. You catched from a phrase in order to demonstrate her as a symbol of feminism, or something like that?
Why do you make that assumption? It was not unusual to have a strong female character angry at the powers that be (men) in greek theatre. This clip shows the entire basis of the play. Without it, there is no Antigone story. Incidentally, i have seen multiple translations of this particular play and if i recall correctly they are not so different from this either in the anger or the intent. Perhaps do some research instead of assuming that a strong and angry woman is just a feminist mouthpiece.
Now I am very much a feminist, but (or therefore?) I heard this more like "the laws of men" as in "not eternal/divine law" However, I did the research and those words are indeed not in the translations I found (my ancient Greek is rusty so I didn't check the original). Anyway I think the core message of this great, timeless play is line 524: "I am for sharing love, not hatred."
@@twig5543 Absolutely a misrepresentation of the play. Antigone is a great female character because she is multifaceted, caught between the demands of her family, the state and cultural norms. Creon is a representative of law, that is the state not "men", in the play. Barbara is absolutely right in her reading of man's law as human law. The play is about as feminist as it is pro-death. And antigone is as much a flawed character as Creon is. When she regrets at the end that she never married, I suppose that's a feminist ideal? Stop reading political nonsense into complex multifaceted plays, they've only advertised it like this because it's trendy right now.
@@sallyatticum nah. Probably just someone who actually read the title of the video. I saw the word 'Antigone' and clicked without reading the rest and it wasn't until @julie bercow mentioned advertising that i did read it. The title is indeed very much misrepresentative of the play. Antigone doesn't say that she won't 'waste her life on men', though she is angry because they're stopping her from carrying out her duty. So assuming that's what the original poster was commenting on, i actually agree with them. Edit: amended the reference to the words in the title, which were incorrect in the original version.
Wow. Way to show your blatant bias. This is so far from being a "dreadful" performance that your opinion is laughable. It is an amazing performance and only a completely ignorant fool would say otherwise. Speaking as someone who is actually at drama school and doing a degree in acting.
Jodie Whittaker is just mad talented. She's great in Doctor Who but I wish they'd give her more dramatic and comedic material.
Seeing Jodie Whittaker perform anything is always a joy to watch. Think I'm gonna watch this stage play :3
@Dan Jones Now I'm definitly gonna watch it ò.ó

Annabel Scholey :)

Now this is what happens when an actor is given fantastic scriptwriting. Jodie was fantastic in this.
Scriptwriting? You mean Sophocles the 'script writer'?
@@AnnaMaria-oy1fp Nah, it's a dig at Chris Chibnall.
Jodie ❤❤❤👏👏👏 I've wanted to watch this because Chris is in it as well ❤❤❤
I haven't even seen the whole play and I'm crying, its so amazingly done😭👏
Jodie is just a phenomenal actress all round. What a fab scene!
This would've been handy a year ago when I was doing Antigone for A-level Drama
I know I read that book in my ''A-level' German class. Still no idea what's going on.
@@dude988 tbh me neither
Jodie is SO talented
Jodie is such a wonderful actress. Thanks for sharing this clip. Is there anyway to watch the entire production?
I was at the recording that night in the audience and nearly walked into one the camera’s trying to find my seat. Great production and worth watching if can.
As an acting student... Gah! I love Jodie Whittaker so much! Her performance is incredible.

Annabel Scholey is appearing in the next 'Doctor Who' series, so it'll be an 'Antigone' reunion.
as Claire Brown (The Flux), I knew I saw this face !!
@@lexshizumdot2115 Karvanista is also in it.
With another Time Lord playing Creon
damn she's such a good actor imagine if she got good scripts as thirteen too
Annabel Scholey is a lovely actress, and shares the weight of that scene. Credit her properly.
And like that's we've got 4 Doctor who actors who did Shakespeare
What translation is this?
Is Sophocles a universal part of High Schools Literature studies?
She could have been so good as the Doctor. The scripts were awful.
Her scripts are good and some are fabulous. She is great on Doctor Who.
Waaah.
So 2 of the Doctors acted together in this play?
Oh and two doctors for the price of one, not bad.
Holy guacamole!
Who's Ismene here?
Annabel Scholey - I don't know why they didn't mention her name in the description box since she's in the scene.
i love you guys so much but please stop with the cringey video titles

Αntigone sounds a bit off with this accent...
It's best in Greek. Like Shakepeare, in not as good in Greek.
@@AnnaMaria-oy1fp I said accent, not language.
Inclined to agree. There's something that doesn't sit well with me here.
@@sirius007 I'm sorry....
Nice. She should genuinely stick to stuff like this where she can prove her worth rather than joining and destroying entire franchises
God, what a dreadful performance
Annabel Scholey is good though - she was good in Doctor Who Flux, too.
