Sophocles' Antigone

Adapted by Bonnie Roberts

From a play by Sophocles

A civil war has ended. Will there be peace or new rebellion? What if your family, your friends, everyone you cared about begged you to change your mind, begged you to be silent - be safe? What if your life was in danger because of a decision you made, an action you decided to take? Would you be willing to die for taking that action? Or would you refuse the responsibility of making that decision? Each Greek Chorus member argues the side of one of the characters, hoping, this time, to bring understanding and peace to the war-torn land. There are no heroes, no villains here. Only individuals who face the choice: should I do what I feel is right? Or should I stay silent and safe?
