Airing on March 30 on BBC Four and BBC iPlayer, the 75-minute one-woman play is executive produced by Sally Angel for Angelica Films; Anne Morrison, Nevision\u2019s creative director for factual; and Emma Cahusac for BBC Arts.<\/p>\n<p>Dwan said: \u201cAntigone has always been read as a parable about what happens when a woman speaks truth to power. <em>Pale Sister<\/em> asks the question of all of us today &#8216;Who are we if we are not Antigone?&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cahusac said: \u201cBBC Lights Up is a major broadcast season celebrating the creativity and resilience of U.K. theater, and I am delighted that <em>Pale Sister <\/em>has been filmed for BBC Four and iPlayer. The combined talents of Lisa Dwan, Colm T\u00f3ib\u00edn and Sir Trevor Nunn is a real treat for BBC audiences around the country, who will soon have access to this exceptional production.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Angel added: \u201cColm T\u00f3ib\u00edn\u2019s play, exploring the timeless struggles of women to find the courage to speak up, is a crucial contribution to the Arts at this time. Angelica Films is delighted to bring this exceptional piece to the screen together with Lisa Dwan, Sir Trevor Nunn, BBC Arts and Nevision. BBC Arts\u2019 commitment to culture during the pandemic has created opportunities for new, hybrid forms of theatre and Angelica is thrilled to build on our experience having co-produced Sonia Friedman\u2019s Uncle Vanya for BBC Four last year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Morrison said: \u201cPale Sister is a dynamic piece of theatre which is timely and holds a contemporary relevance, highlighting the power of protest and women\u2019s continued struggle and courage in standing up to harsh and wilful male authority.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Angelica Films, an All3Media company, and the London-based independent producer Nevision are co-producing Pale Sister, to be presented as part of BBC Lights Up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":14667,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[4389],"class_list":["post-14666","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-bbc-lights-up","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Angelica Films &amp;
