The war in Thebes is over at last, but the city is far from being at peace. Headstrong Antigone will not rest until her brother receives the proper burial rights, but Kreon, ruler of Thebes, has decreed that whoever touches the body of this traitor will suffer no less than death. Antigone is a vivid and atmospheric reimagining of a classic.
