Antigone Tickets

Antigone Play Tickets

Experience the timeless tragedy with Antigone tickets. Antigone is a play by the ancient Greek tragedian Sophocles written in 440 BC and the last in his Theban trilogy. The plot follows the bitter king Creon, who orders that his dead rival lie unburied on the battlefield as a sign of dishonor. His rival’s daughter, Antigone, defies the order and surreptitiously buries her father’s body. Furious, Creon orders Antigone to be buried alive. Though his religious advisor suggests that the gods will punish Creon for this, he sends Antigone to her tomb. In the end, Creon discovers that his son had fallen in love with Antigone, and killed himself upon realizing she had been executed. The play ends with Creon, at last, accepting that his bitterness has led him to despair.

Sophocles’ Antigone remains one of the most studied and celebrated tragedies of all time and has proved a formative influence on several thinkers including the poet Friedrich Holderlin, the philosopher Martin Heidegger and philologist Gilbert Norwood. The play’s themes of civil disobedience, natural law and the indifference of the gods have made it one of the most well-regarded texts in classical literature.
