Description

"Quite the contrary. I never doubted for an instant that you would have me put to death."

Creon wakes up one morning to find himself King of Thebes. He said "yes" because somebody had to captain the ship, and now he will never stop paying. Antigone, on the other hand, wants everything of life, and she wants it now. She is of the tribe that asks the questions, and she is here to say "no". The play is on. Antigone has been caught. She has made up her mind. And now, it seems, nothing less than a cosy tea party with death and destiny will quench her thirst.

Antigone is a modern adaptation of Sophocles' tragedy which interrogates authority and integrity. Despite the howling mob - the torture - the fear of death - our little Antigone is wriggling her way out of the straitjacket of human vestment. And what are we possibly to do for her? Condemn her to live?
