Antigone at Kennedy Center - Theater for Young Audiences

After a case of sibling rivalry culminates in civil war, King Creon of Thebes forbids anyone from burying the traitor who started it in this fresh and vibrant take on an ancient classic. When his niece Antigone, discontent to let her brother go without proper funeral rites, takes matters into her own hands, she sparks a family feud that pits father against son, sister against sister, and civil law against the gods.
