Southwark Playhouse

The exciting new production of Sophocles' tragedy Antigone, translated by Timberlake Wertenbaker, has been receiving much attention from critics during its run at the Southwark Playhouse in May-June 2011.

David Allen composed and recorded the original score for this London Fringe production, with elements from Middle Eastern music and culture as well as a Western approach of unifying the different musical ideas and narrative strands, with a considerable amount of singing and dancing by the large chorus.

David has been commissioned to compose the music for a major new production of Sophocles' Classical tragedy Antigone at the Southwark Playhouse in the late spring of 2011. Working once again with the critically acclaimed Primavera Productions after their highly successful collaboration on T.S. Eliot's Murder in the Cathedral last autumn - and using an exciting modern translation by Timberlake Wertenbaker - this will be David's debut on the London stage.
