Antigone (2015)
By Jean Anouilh
Translated by Lewis Galantiere
A new version by Alison Shan Price, Diana Sfeir & Hamad Al Jenaie
''In the three thousand years since the first Antigone—other Antigones have arisen like a clarion call to remind men of this distinction. Their cause is always the same—a passionate belief that moral law exists, and a passionate regard for the sanctity of human dignity.''
Set in an Arab world, this modern adaptation of Sophocles’ Greek tragedy will show how Antigone defies the nation and her uncle Creon in her pursuit of justice.
