Home > Upcoming Shows & Events > Antigone - a staged reading
In the wake of a brutal civil war, Antigone defies her uncle, King Creon, by attempting to bury her disgraced brother. This act of civil disobedience pits her moral and religious beliefs against Creon’s absolute power and the law of the state. As the conflict escalates, Creon's pride blinds him to the pleas of his son and a prophet, leading to a series of devastating tragedies. Emily Mann's adaptation of Sophocles’s play modernizes this timeless story, exploring the high cost of tyranny and the unyielding power of a single voice fighting for justice.
This performance will be Pay-What-You-Can with the proceeds benefiting Shelton State Theatre Department's participation in The International Collegiate Theatre Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland in 2027.
