About this eBook
Are you angry with policing or Polyneices?
Them, we can change. He, is dead. Speak
to Creon... Ask him to release Polyneices...
we will bury him quietly, peacefully, together.
A torn family. A hostile state. One heroic brother. One misguided son. One conflicted sister, and the second is on the run.
This is a blistering retelling of Sophocles' epic story from the writer of Barber Shop Chronicles, Inua Ellams.
Antigone first premiered at Regent Park's Open Air Theatre in September 2022. This revised edition was published in June 2023.
