Antigone
Adapted from the Work of Sophocles Author(s):
George Judy
"Two brothers at one gate, in one fight, matched swords together; and both in one blow the gods laid low." So begins one of the most extraordinary classics of Greek drama. The war has ended, and Creon, King of Thebes, has decreed that one of Antigone's brothers be buried as a hero while the other is left unburied, in shame, for his part in the failed revolution. But strong-minded Antigone disobeys Creon and buries her scorned brother. What follows is a battle of private conscience against public authority that divides the city. ANTIGONE examines questions that are just as relevant today as they were in ancient Greece. An optional prologue invites further parallels to be drawn to modern day conflicts. This excellent adaption remains faithful to the theme and style of the original while being accessible for a contemporary audience.
