Antigone

About the Show

Germinal Stage Denver presents Antigone, Jean Anouilh’s take on the magnificent Greek tragedy by Sophocles. When a civil war leaves rebels bloody and unburied on the battlefield, the daughter of the cursed house of Oedipus must defy her uncle the king, by burying her fallen brother, leader of the defeated faction. Can one young girl, willing to sacrifice everything, face down the power of a state determined to kill her if she does not obey its rigid laws?
