Belt Up’s Antigone
Belt Up Theatre
Roll up for Belt Up Theatre! They sing! They dance! They act! They also pat you on the back and welcome you as a guest to their humble and tatty abode as part of their unique brand of immersive theatre. Reinventing ‘Antigone’ in a magical setting, song and dance punctuates some passionate exchanges of dialogue and quiet monologues in a family tragedy where the gulf between obeying the law and doing what is right widens throughout. Strained relationships are beautifully conveyed and though the play is very disjointed and has no fast-paced plot to keep impatient guests happy, the abruptness of the conclusion took many by surprise. There will be tears! There will be laughter! Belt Up triumphs again.
