Written over 2500 years ago, Antigone is perhaps one of the best known of the great classical Greek tragedies.
A young woman, Antigone, buries her brother against the orders of the King and finds herself in direct confrontation with the State: she has broken the law of the land. Yet Antigone is obeying a higher law: those of the gods in heaven.
The tragedy of Antigone is one that could face any one of us. What happens when individuals confront the State with their beliefs?
Detailed notes on the background and history of the play and Sophocles will be available at the theatre.
