Antigone's brother lies where he fell in rebellion against the state, and King Creon – her uncle – outlaws his burial. Her appalling dilemma: obey Creon, and offend against the gods. Or follow her heart, and plunge her accursed family into a fresh cycle of violence.

The strong-willed heroine of Greek tragedy finds a powerful voice in Heaney's acclaimed new version of Antigone. Lucy Pitman-Wallace directs the UK premiere of this vigorous and lyrical translation, breathing new immediacy into Sophocles' timeless parable.
