Antigone

Desperate to gain control over a city ravaged by civil war, Creon refuses to bury the body of Antigone’s rebellious brother. Outraged, she defies his edict. This action causes Creon to defend his rule by condemning the young woman, his niece, to be buried alive. This is a collection on the National Theatre’s 2012 production of Antigone and contains interviews with director Polly Findlay and cast members including Christopher Eccleston and Jodie Whittaker.
