Callywith Performing Arts students proudly present…Antigone
On Tuesday 16th and Thursday 18th May, Performing and Production Arts students will perform the Greek tragedy Antigone.
Antigone, written by Sophocles, follows the daughter and sister of Oedipus, the king of Thebes. After Oedipus died, Antigone's brothers, Eteocles and Polynices, killed each other in a civil war for the throne. Creon, the new king, honoured Eteocles but left Polynices unburied as a traitor. Antigone defies Creon's order and buries Polynices, for which she is sentenced to death.
