Contemporary adaptation of Jean Anouilh’s poetic drama of a woman forced to choose between following her moral compass and obedience to the laws of her rulers. First produced under Nazi censorship in 1944 Paris, Anouilh’s ANTIGONE explores the conflict between individual conscience and political expediency. Then as now, "going along to get along" wasn’t tragedy from ancient history – it was personal tragedy with real-world consequences.
