ANTIGONE
Translated by Anne Carson
Directed by Isabelle Kettle

“Why does tragedy exist? Because you are full of rage. Why are you full of rage? Because you are full of grief.” 
—Anne Carson, Tragedy: A Curious Art Form

Anne Carson’s stunning translation of Sophokles’ Antigone unearths the rapid, violent and intimate decay of a civilized world. 

When her dead brother is decreed a traitor, Antigone refuses to allow his body to be left unburied beyond the city walls. Defying the edict of her ruling uncle, Antigone forges ahead with a funeral alone, placing personal allegiance before politics, a tenacious act that will trigger a cycle of destruction.
