Director

A modern translation of the Sophocles play, Antigone, translated by Anne Carson, is one of the earliest tragedies in theatre. Carson’s language is playful, bittersweet, and profoundly poetic. Following the tragedy of Oedipus and the ensuing civil war, the play opens in the wake of King Kreon’s decree forbidding the burial of Polynikes. When Antigone, Polynikes' sister, defies the edict and puts her brother to rest, all of Thebes witnesses the brutality of the law as it tears the royal family apart and undoes the hard-won peace Kreon seeks to protect.
