Antigone by Jean Anouilh

In an adaptation of Jean Anouilh’s gripping retelling of Antigone, the ancient Greek tragedy is reborn in a world shadowed moral conflict. After her brothers die fighting on opposite sides for the throne of Thebes, Antigone is faced with an impossible choice: obey King Creon’s decree and leave her brother Polynices unburied as a traitor, or defy the law and honour her family. Her courageous act of rebellion sets off a chain of events that pits youthful idealism against the harsh demands of power, with devastating consequences for all involved. Anouilh’s Antigone is a timeless exploration of conscience, resistance, and the cost of standing alone—an unmissable drama brought to life by Canberra College Drama.
