Antigone
15 October 08 - 08 November 08
By Sophocles
Royal Exchange Theatre
Sophocles’ powerful, shattering and relevant tragedy
'Creon: An enemy is still an enemy. Dead or alive. Antigone: No, I was born with love enough to share: no hate for anyone'
When her brother is denied the dignity of a burial, Antigone refuses to bow to her ruler and prospective father-in-law and instead chooses to fight for all that she believes in Sophocles’ POWERFUL, SHATTERING and RELEVANT tragedy.
Did you know? Although Sophocles wrote well over a hundred plays, only seven have survived completely.
