June 30 to September 18, 2026 Douglas Campbell Theatre
This bold new adaptation by local playwright Kate Besworth presents Sophocles’ classic Greek tragedy for a contemporary audience. Antigone, the daughter of Oedipus, defies King Creon’s decree by burying her rebel brother in the aftermath of a civil war, setting off a chain of events that pits family loyalty against political authority—with devastating consequences. Exploring themes of resistance, voice, and generational reckoning, Antigone is raw, timely, and emotionally potent, offering a story as relevant now as it was in ancient Greece.
