John and Winston are political prisoners on South Africa鈥檚 infamous Robben Island, spending their days toiling at grueling, futile tasks in the prison鈥檚 quarry. At night, they secretly rehearse a two-man version of Antigone and find solace and strength in their burgeoning friendship. The Island is at once a sobering glimpse into the social, physical, and psychological wounds of Apartheid; a lesson in the complex work of liberation; and a testament to the transformative power of theatre.
