This archive recording was captured on 4th July, 2012.
In the unstable aftermath of a civil war, Creon, the new King of Thebes, asserts his authority by forbidding anyone from honouring the death of the traitor Polyneices. But Antigone, Polyneices' sister, will not obey.
When Creon's authority is challenged, a gripping conflict emerges between the power of an individual and the state.
Polly Findlay's electric 2012 production brings Sophocles' tragedy into the modern world as a gripping political thriller.
