Written by the ancient Greek tragedian Sophocles in 442 B.C., Antigone is the third of the three Theban plays and regarded as one of the greatest classic works ever in history. The heroine, Antigone, disobeyed the edict issued by the new king Creon, and buried the dead body of her brother, who was considered as a traitor to the city. Antigone was condemned to death.

 

 

Creon upheld what he believed to be right and ended up being left alone. Today, Antigone could be interpreted from many perspectives：love and injustice, humanitarian and human rights, political background of geopolitical conflicts and so on.

 

Those diversified interpretations help Antigone survive in modern theatres and modern life and make it an enduring classic source text on stage worldwide.
