It is hard to deny that the pleasure of
theatre substantially lies in witnessing a
performance in situ. It is equally impossible to
eschew the role of digital means in rendering
a theatre work accessible to far-away
audiences. In the present world hit by Covid19, theatre practitioners have resorted to
digitalism as one solution to ensure theatre’s
survival. The University of California (UC)
Davis Theatre and Dance Department’s allfemale cast AntigoneNOW, a hybrid
adaptation of Sophocles’ Antigone, is one of
those enterprises that successfully reflected
on and responded to the world’s current state
through digital means. Twelve culturally
diverse female actors from different parts of
the world filmed themselves with their
phones, iPads, and computers; then all of the
recordings brought together and edited by
directors of the production. This online
adaptation while exemplifying theatre in
lockdown, offers insights into the nameless
troubles across the globe and the common
struggle of a variety of people in their faces
