Synopsis

Number forty-eight in NHB's Drama Classics Series, providing the world's great drama at a great price.

The introduction to this edition of Antigone includes a short biography of Sophocles and chronology of his work; a glossary; a guide to what happens in the play; a short history of the play and its context; and a brief guide to the use of choruses and the original staging.

The first great 'resistance' drama - and perhaps the definitive Greek tragedy.

Creon, the King of Thebes, has forbidden the burial of Antigone's brother because he was put to death as a traitor to the crown. Despite being engaged to Creon's son Haemon, Antigone disobeys the King and buries her brother. Enraged, Creon condemns Antigone to death and buries her alive in a cave. The prophet Teiresias warns Creon against such rash actions, and eventually Creon relents but when he goes to release Antigone it is too late...

Translated and introduced by Marianne McDonald. Antigone is a set text for AQA Drama and Theatre Studies A/AS Level.
