KOLT's Past Productions  ANTIGONE by Jean AnouilhBased on the classic by Sophocles April 29 - May 28, 2011 California Stage Directed by Lisa Thew
Anouilh’s ANTIGONE focuses on the showdown between King Creon and his niece, Antigone, when she defies his order—punishable by death—to prohibit the burial of her brother after a brutal civil war. Seen through the prism of our current time, ANTIGONE raises a crucial question: when the towers of society/politics/finance are crumbling around us, do we fight for what works even if that’s wrong or do we fight for what’s right even if that means our end? Integrity versus compromise, individual versus the state, moral rights versus human laws -- ANTIGONE rips into these timeless issues and iconic characters.
