Plot

In the chaotic aftermath of a civil war, Creon takes the throne of Thebes and enforces a decree that prohibits anyone from honoring the fallen traitor, Polyneices. However, his sister, Antigone, refuses to comply. This defiance sets off a fierce clash between individual beliefs and state authority. Polly Findlay's dynamic 2012 adaptation reinterprets Sophocles' classic tragedy, transforming it into a compelling political thriller that resonates with contemporary issues.
