Antigone

Written by Sophokles
Adapted by Anne Carson
Directed by Michelle Bellaver

The conflict between justice and law rises to poetic heights in Anne Carson’s innovative translation of Sophokles’ classic tale of civil disobedience. Antigone, daughter of Oedipus, mourns her beloved brother Polyneikes, considered an enemy of the state; Antigone’s uncle, King Kreon, refuses to allow his burial, considering him an insurgent and traitor. In an act of defiance and courage, Antigone breaks the law and sets the city of Thebes and its inhabitants towards an irreversible fate.
