About

Antigone by Sophocles

After a brutal civil war, the city is trying to rebuild.

Two brothers have killed each other in the fight for power. The new ruler, Creon, declares one a hero - the other a traitor. One will be buried with honour. The other will be left to rot. Antigone refuses.

In defying the state, she risks everything: her future, her family, her life. But in a world ruled by fear and fragile authority, who gets to decide what’s right? The law? The leader? Or your own conscience?

A gripping story of protest, power and personal conviction - Antigone asks what happens when speaking up costs you everything… and staying silent costs even more.

GENRE: Dystopian drama, a resistance story.
