Sophocles' Antigone performed live by Scena Mundi Theatre - 14 May 2020


SOPHOCLES’ ANTIGONE, in a translation by Robert Fagles

Ancient Thebes, the old city of Cadmus, is the theatre on which is played the downfall of the house of Laius.

Antigone, the ill-fated daughter of Oedipus, decides to bury the body of her brother Polynices, left to rot outside the city walls upon the order of Creon, her uncle, now King of Thebes.

This gesture, which she sees as her duty, the reverence owed to the dead and the gods, is in the eyes of Creon and the old citizens of Thebes an act of irreverence, a challenge to power and authority.

Sophocles’ text, superbly translated by Robert Fagles, brims with passion, grief and emotion 2500 years after its composition.

Ben Jonson's VOLPONE, OR THE FOX, by Scena Mundi Theatre. Live performance recorded on 14 July 20

“Good morning to the day; and next my gold.”

Volpone (the Fox), a rich Venetian, and his servant Mosca (the Fly) pretend that Volpone is dying to encourage greedy fortune hunters to vie for his favour in hopes of being named his heir. These birds of prey, Voltore (the Vulture), Corbaccio (the Raven) and Corvino (the Crow), oblivious to their own foibles, duly visit Volpone with rich presents while eagerly hoping for news of his death, offering Volpone and Mosca much cause for laughter.

Inspired by Roman satire and the tradition of fables in which human follies are portrayed through animal characters, Ben Jonson’s exuberant satire of human greed is a feast of language and a triumphant ode to the art of acting and the misguided lure of riches. Will your sympathies lie with the deceiver – or will they lie with the parasite? Watch treachery rewarded, before poetic justice engulfs both knaves and dupes.

Faye Maughan in 'Doctor Faustus' by Christopher Marlowe

This short audio piece is set in a futuristic post-Humanoid Revolution society when human’s aspiration, to be less emotional, has manifested to an extreme. A humanoid investigates an entirely isolated human living in a screen dominated pod.

Faye Maughan plays the seemingly mischievous humanoid, flirting between being human-like to computer-like, with razor-sharp precision.

Length: 6 minutes.
