Synopsis:
This play deals with three royal teenagers, Antigone, Ismene and Haemon, and their confrontations with King Creon of Thebes. Antigone and Ismene are daughters of the banished King Oedipus. Haemon is Creonʼs son and engaged to Antigone. Creon was just recently made king by the deaths of Antigoneʼs and Ismeneʼs brothers.
Antigone rebels against King Creonʼs edict forbidding the burial of one brother while awarding the other full burial with military and religious honors. She urges her sister Ismene to help bury their shamed brother against the edict of the King. To do so means death by stoning. Ismene urges caution but Antigone is committed to burying her brother even though it means she will die.
Creon is faced with trying to rule wisely and to maintain control in a time of great chaos for his country. The blind seer, Tiresias, warns him of the terrible consequences of his actions. Finally trapped by laws of his own making, Creon suffers the tragic loss of all he holds dear.
