Insubordination
is our worst crime. It wrecks cities and empties homes. It breaks
and routs even allies who fight beside us. Discipline is what saves
the lives of all good people who stay out of trouble. Ant to make
sure we enforce discipline never let a woman overwhelm a king.
~Creon
Antigone, the daughter of Oedipus, has placed herself
on a collision course with her uncle, King Creon. Antigone's brother
has died in battle, Creon refuses to give him a proper burial. When
Antigone defies Creon, she is banished to a cave. Creon's son, who
is engaged to Antigone, comes to her defense but there are dire
consequences. Passion. Loyalty. Pride. One of Sophocles' best known
and most enduring dramas invites us to ponder the complex moral
dilemmas of civil disobedience and the proper exercise of power.
Join us for the premiere of a new American translation of one of
Sophocles' best known and most enduring dramas.
