Antigone

About the Production

Sophocles

Adapted by Anne Carson

Directed by Guest Director Egla Hassan

Defiant in her convictions, a young woman chooses conscience over compliance and love over law. This enduring masterpiece by Sophocles is a searing exploration of moral courage, power, and the consequences of standing alone.

When her dead brother is decreed a traitor, his body left unburied beyond the city walls, Antigone refuses to accept this most severe of punishments. Defying her uncle who governs, she dares to say 'No'. Forging ahead with a funeral alone, she places personal allegiance before politics, a tenacious act that will trigger a cycle of destruction.
