CASTING CALL – ANTIGONE

Description

London Theatre – Profit Share

Casting is now open for a new independent adaptation of Sophocles’ Antigone, scheduled for performance in late March / April 2026 (exact dates and venue TBC).

Roles Available

All roles are open to inclusive and non-traditional casting.
Gender is not a determining factor for any role.
All roles will involve chorus work and some devising.


CREON / CHORUS
Text-heavy role

Newly appointed ruler of Thebes. Charismatic and authoritative, Creon believes deeply in law, order, and civic responsibility. Acting from good intentions rather than villainy, his certainty is gradually tested and fractured. Beneath his controlled exterior emerge doubt, vulnerability, and moral conflict.

Requires strong command of language, emotional range, and stamina for dense text.

ISMENE / EURYDICE / CHORUS

Ismene
Antigone’s sister. Cautious, empathetic, and pragmatic, Ismene is torn between loyalty and fear. She represents survival, compromise, and endurance over resistance. The role demands emotional subtlety and the ability to hold inner conflict beneath restraint.

Eurydice
Creon’s partner and Queen of Thebes. Appearing briefly near the tragic end of the play, Eurydice carries immense emotional weight. Requires the ability to convey grief, fear, and moral clarity through restraint and quiet strength.


HAEMON / CHORUS

Creon’s child and Antigone’s intended. Passionate, idealistic, and emotionally conflicted, Haemon stands between generations and opposing ideologies. Courageous enough to challenge authority and break cycles of inherited power and trauma.

TEIRESIAS / GUARD / MESSENGER / CHORUS
Text-heavy role

Multiple roles requiring versatility and strong storytelling skills.
Teiresias is the truth-bearer, demanding authority and wisdom beyond human years.
The Guard and Messenger ground the play in realism, offering tonal contrast and moments of dark or dry humour.

Rehearsals & Performances

– Rehearsals via Zoom and in London
– Schedule to be confirmed collaboratively
– Performances anticipated late March / April 2026
– Venue currently being secured
