Pale Sister

3.2/5 ( ratings)

Antigone stood defiant in the face of tyranny.

Best-selling and award winning author Colm Tóibín wrote this new dramatisation of the Greek tragedy especially to be performed by Irish actor Lisa Dwan.

Pale Sister gives voice to Antigone’s sister, Ismene, who recounts her sister’s defiance of the king as pressures mount on her to act to vindicate her sister, or even follow her example.

Pale Sister tells Antigone’s story through Ismene: the quiet person in the corner, bearing witness to everything. Dwan’s skilled theatrical performance delivers words that give power to those without, and a message that resonates deeply in today’s world.

With sound design by Sinead Diskin.
The stage performance was produced by Audible and The Gate Theatre in Dublin, Ireland, 2019.
