Back to All Events

Antigone


  • UWA Perth WA Australia (map)

In the bloody aftermath of a civil war that has left Polyneices and Eteocles, the two heirs-apparent to Thebes and Antigone's brothers dead, Creon has seized power and decreed that Polyneices shall not be granted a burial. His corpse shall lay in the streets to rot.

 Antigone, in direct defiance, resolves to grant her brother the proper burial that his position and honour demands he is entitled to. Torn between her duty to her family and the laws of the state, Antigone’s defiance sets off a chain of events that will test the limits of loyalty, justice, and love.

 Join us for a powerful modern adaptation of Sophocles’ classic tragedy by Jean Anouilh translated by Lewis Galantiere, where the timeless themes of morality, fate, and the human spirit are brought to life on stage. Witness the struggle of a young woman who dares to stand against tyranny, and the devastating consequences that follow.
