The body of Polynices, Antigone’s brother, has been ordered to remain unburied by Creon, the new king of Thebes. Antigone’s faithfulness to her dead brother and his proper burial, and her defiance of the dictator Creon, seals her fate. Originally produced in Paris during the Nazi occupation, Anouilh’s Antigone was seen by the French as theatre of the resistance and by the Germans as an affirmation of authority.
Includes an interview with translator Christopher Nixon and director Brendon Fox.
