By Sophokles | A new version by Anne Carson | Directed by Matthew Winning and Erica Murphy | Nov 14 - 22 | Opening Night: Nov 15

A new twist on an ancient story.

“Nothing vast enters the lives of mortals without ruin.” When Antigone, daughter of Oedipus, buries her brother, the mutinous Polyneikes, it is in direct defiance of Kreon, the King of Thebes, who has ordered his body to rot in the fields. This single act of civil disobedience will set off a fatalistic chain reaction in Canadian poet Anne Carson’s audacious, irreverent, and distinctly modern reworking of Sophokles’ meditation on tyranny, resistance, and the immutable tragedy that is the passage of time.
