"“It was excellent. The acting so powerful!” Louise, St. Benedict School

A timeless masterpiece

A theatrical stage scene with five performers wearing white masks. The central figure, kneeling and dressed in a white shirt and black cape, is gesturing with his hands. The background is black with a red lightning bolt symbol.

Her family dead, killed through bitter civil war. Antigone defies the laws of the land to bury her brother as he deserves. But the new king, clasping his court in a strangle hold, cannot allow such insubordination. Antigone must choose: obey the law and betray the memory of her brother, or follow her heart and face a fatal outcome. How far would you go for those you love? What is worth ultimate sacrifice? Antigone is an intense, visceral experience exploring the light and dark powers of family, duty, and love.

Antigone is about an uncompromising young girl who decides to assert herself and say “no” to what she does not want. A timeless masterpiece where the characters are not either bad or good, but are struggling with mixed feelings, just as any human being is.
