ANTIGONE
After Oedipus' son Polyneices attacks his home city of Thebes and is killed in battle, the burial of his corpse is forbidden by Creon, king of Thebes. And yet, Antigone will not hesitate to bury her brother even if the entire world is working against her. Written over two thousand years ago by the master playwright Sophocles and here translated by Irish poet and Nobel laureate Seamus Heaney, Antigone continues to ask us if we ought to follow the law of the land, or whether we should heed a higher call.
