Polyneices and eteocles, two brothers leading opposite sides in thebes' civil war, have both been killed in battle. Creon, the new ruler of thebes, has declared that eteocles will be honored and Polyneices disgraced. the rebel brother's body will not be sanctified by holy rites, and will lay unburied to become the food of carrion animals. Defying Creon's edict antigone buries her brother and in so doing unleashes a terrible tragedy.

Beautiful One Day
Synopsis:
Beautiful One Day is a theatrical documentary about the irrepressible life and times of Palm Island. Three theatre companies (Belvoir, Ilbijerri, and version 1.0) came together in 2011 over a shared sense of outrage at the injustices surrounding a death in custody in 2004. But, prompted by the Palm Island community, Beautiful One Day looks for a way to turn outrage into real understanding and new possibilities. At its heart is a determined struggle to understand the persistent heavy-handedness of white Australia.
