overview

“A marvellous new translation by Anne Carson that crackles with canny colloquialism and insight.” -- Arts Desk<br /><br />When her dead brother is decreed a traitor, his body left unburied beyond the city walls, Antigone refuses to accept this most severe of punishments. Defying her uncle who governs, she dares to say “No.” Forging ahead with a funeral alone, she places personal allegiance before politics, a tenacious act that will trigger a cycle of destruction.
