Antigone

The Public Domain Players Presents...

 

Directed by Olivia Bievenue

 

In the aftermath of civil war, King Creon institutes an order barring the burial of Antigone's rebellious brother. In defiance, Antigone performs the burial rites and claims Creon's proclamation to be against the laws of the gods. The act shakes the foundations of civil life and prompts the questions: Who has control over life and death? What do we owe to the dead?
