“How can one penetrate the absolute certainty and righteousness of political or religious leaders who refuse to listen?”

“What happens when neither side in a conflict agrees to yield?”

“What happens when one sees the catastrophic consequences of one’s actions too late?”

Viewed as a contest between equally determined and fierce competitors, both right and both wrong, Antigone is an intense examination of these questions. Antigone battles Creon, her uncle, for the right in God’s name to bury her dead brother, Polyneices, but loses that fight in a horrifying conclusion to this story. This adaptation of Sophocles’ play takes a fresh look at Antigone’s own rigidity as an equal contributor to this story’s devastating ending. The path taken here -vengeance will breed vengeance – is a shattering lesson for our times.
