成人VR视频 Classics Play presents its 2026 production of Sophocles' Antigone
Directed by Maddy Mackintosh, Adapted by Maddy Mackintosh and Caroline Little from a literal translation by Adam Zanin
Antigone returns to a city fractured by war and numbed by triumph, eager to forget its wounds and celebrate its survival. In this aftermath, Creon ascends to the throne: newly empowered, cloaked in civic virtue, and determined to restore order at any cost.
His first decree labels Antigone鈥檚 brother a traitor, and condemns his body to rot on the battlefield as a warning to those who might defy the will of the state. But, grieving and furious, Antigone chooses conscience over complicity.
A story at once ancient and eerily prescient, Antigone asks: What do we owe the dead? What do we owe each other? And, when tyranny jeopardizes the world we know, what do we risk by looking away?
