What happens when the rules of society disappear entirely? What happens when we refuse to stay quiet in the face of injustice?
ThirdSpace presents two bold, youth-led productions that place urgent questions at their heart — and place young performers at the centre of the action.
First, an island. No adults. No rules. In Lord of the Flies, a group of young people must build their own society from scratch — and what follows is as unsettling as it is recognisable. As fear grows and power shifts, friendships fracture and the line between cooperation and conflict begins to blur. In a world shaped by peer pressure, group identity, and the pull of belonging, William Golding's story feels as urgent as ever.
Then, an ancient story reclaimed. In Antigone, one brother fights for the West, one for the East. One is praised as a hero; one condemned as a terrorist. When the law decrees that nobody may commemorate Polynices, his sister Antigone refuses to stay silent. Stubborn, brave, and fiercely loyal, she speaks out — inspiring some, and enraging those in power. She is condemned to death without trial, and a chain of tragedies unfolds. Crashing through the action with satire, music, and bold commentary, the chorus asks what this ancient story means to us today. Ancient Greece meets the politics of the present in a fearless, energetic retelling that refuses to accept the world as it is.
Listen to the young speak out and voice their truth.
Two stories. One company. One unmissable evening.
