ANTIGONICK
By Sophokles | A new version by Anne Carson | Directed by Matthew Winning and Erica Murphy | Nov 14 - 22 | Opening Night: Nov 15

A new twist on an ancient story.

“Nothing vast enters the lives of mortals without ruin.” When Antigone, daughter of Oedipus, buries her brother, the mutinous Polyneikes, it is in direct defiance of Kreon, the King of Thebes, who has ordered his body to rot in the fields. This single act of civil disobedience will set off a fatalistic chain reaction in Canadian poet Anne Carson’s audacious, irreverent, and distinctly modern reworking of Sophokles’ meditation on tyranny, resistance, and the immutable tragedy that is the passage of time.

Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia’s newest production, Billy Goats Gruff and Other Tales, presents a fresh and engaging reimagining of three cherished children’s stories—Goldilocks and the Three Bears, The Three Little Pigs, and The Three Billy Goats Gruff. Filled with adventure, humor, and heroism, the story follows a brave raccoon and a clever mouse who are on a journey to collect treasure. Along the way, they unknowingly help the goats, bears, and pigs, preventing disaster—without any of the animals ever encountering a true villain. This imaginative retelling seamlessly interweaves three classic tales into a heartwarming adventure that celebrates friendship and courage.

Designed for children ages 3 to 7, Mermaid Theatre’s latest production offers a captivating performance, laughter, and wonder for young audiences.
