In a New Translation by Nicholas Rudall
by SOPHOCLES
Directed by Michelle Bayer
One of the greatest and moving tragedies of all time, Antigone continues to have relevance today because of its depiction of the struggle between individual conscience and state policy. The play probes the nature of human suffering. University of Chicago professor and the Founding Director of Court Theatre, Nicholas Rudall's translation brings a new power and speakability to Sophocles' prose.
