the show follows closely Sophocles' play, but adds a number of new scenes to expand the story, and bring into focus the other characters surrounding the main protagonists: antigone and her uncle King Creon. antigone is a tale of family struggles set against the background of a repressive government. the story relates how antigone, Oedipus' daughter, opposes the might of state and family.
