Antigone

The MC3 Theatre presents Antigone which chronicles a family tragedy that results from authoritarian government rule. When Antigone’s brother Polynices is killed, Creon, the new king of Thebes, orders that his body remain unburied. Antigone defies the law and seals her dire fate. Originally produced in Paris during the Nazi occupation, the show underscores the duty of citizens to speak out when their government becomes oppressive. The show is adapted by Lewis Galantiere from the play by Jean Anouilh.
