“And if I die
I will die happy.”
Antigone’s decision to oppose her uncle Kreon’s edict and bury her brother’s body sets into motion a series of events that will challenge the bonds of family, law, and justice. Kenneth Cavander (The Curse of Oedipus) returns to Antaeus in a powerful new adaptation of Sophokles’ Antigone.
Directed by Andy Wolk, this Greek tragedy delves deep into the clash between duty to the state and loyalty to one’s kin.
