The Antiphon is a three-act verse tragedy. Set in England in 1939 after the beginning of WWII, the drama presents the Hobbs family reunion in the family’s ancestral home, Burley Hall. The play features many of the themes or motifs that run through Barnes’s work, including betrayal, familial relations, regression and transgression. The dialogue is highly stylized and poetic.
