Top of PageAntigone
a city devastated by war. a family, the House of Oedipus, doomed by incest, guilt, grief and greed. Two brothers slay each other: one loyal subject, the other enemy and traitor, one to be given a hero's burial, the other to be left unburied and exposed to the vultures. Creon, the new king and his young niece, antigone, both wilful and passionate, are determined to be faithful to their individual causes - duty to the State for one, duty to love and morality for the other. In this visual and physical performance of Sophocles' antigone an eternal conflict transcends all boundaries in a tragedy that still resonates in contemporary culture and politics.

Top of PageIliad, An
Synopsis:
First sung around a campfire 2,800 years ago, the Iliad remains a soaring ode about humanity's seemingly timeless attraction to violence and destruction. In this theatrical telling, a storyteller grapples with the mythology, brutality, and humanity of Homer's epic poem. An intimate and immediate look at rage, grief, and the heroism and horror of a seemingly endless war.
Notes:
An Iliad by Lisa Peterson and Denis OHare . Based on Homers the Iliad ., translated by Robert Fagles
