  • Summary

  • Antigone and Ismene, the daughters of Oedipus, discuss the disaster that has just befallen them. Their brothers Polynices and Eteocles have killed one another in a battle for control over Thebes. Creon who now rules the city, refuses Polynices proper burial rites. Family loyalties, bloody warfare and an edict that one sister cannot honour. The third part of Sophocles masterpiece comes to its dramatic conclusion, in a stunning new production.

Excellent production!

I’d highly recommend this series to anyone who’s interested. I recently finished a course on YT about “The Philosophy of Greek Tragedy” by Professor Michael Davis, which was 10/10 and this series made for a perfect pairing to go with it.

Well Done

Beautifully done. I did the other two plays in the Oedipus cycle with this series and was able to finish it in two days and I will use it again following along with the book .

I love it!

A very poignant performance of the wonderful Greek classic. I highly refined it for everyone.
