In the unstable aftermath of a civil war, Creon, the new King of Thebes, asserts his authority by forbidding anyone from honouring the death of the traitor Polyneices. But Antigone, Polyneices� sister, will not obey. When Creon�s authority is challenged, a gripping conflict emerges between the power of an individual and the state. Polly Findlay�s electric 2012 production brings Sophocles� tragedy into the modern world as a gripping political thriller.
