National Theatre Live: Antigone

In the aftermath of a civil war, Creon's authority is put to the test as he forbids any tribute to Polyneices, but his sister Antigone refuses to obey, sparking a conflict between individual power and state control. Director Polly Findlay brings Sophocles' classic tragedy into the modern world as a gripping political thriller that tackles issues of loyalty, duty, and the human condition. Starring Jodie Whittaker in the lead role, this powerful production is a thought-provoking exploration of what it means to stand up for one's convictions, even when faced with overwhelming authority.
