Antigone
by Sophocles
Translated by Anne Carson
Directed by Robert Quillen Camp
Written by Sophocles between 440 and 442 BC, Antigone presents a clash between the power of the state and the imperatives of filial duty. Declared a traitor to Thebes in the aftermath of the Theban civil war, Antigone’s dead brother Polynices has been left unburied outside the city gates. In attempting to honor her brother with a proper burial, Antigone defies her uncle Creon, the new ruler of Thebes, resulting in a cascade of tragic consequences. Renowned poet and classicist Anne Carson renders the power of Sophocles’s language in a stark and thrilling translation that makes the questions that animate the play immediate and compellingly relevant.
