false <![CDATA[Antigone]]> 352383 25 Antigone was originally produced in Paris in 1942, when France was occupied and part of Hitler's Europe. The play depicts an authoritarian regime which mirrors the predicament of the French people of the time. Based on Sophocles' ancient Greek tragedy, Antigone which was first performed in Athens in the 5th century BC, its theme was nevertheless topical. For in Antigone's faithfulness to her dead brother and his proper burial and her reiterated "No!" to the dictator Creon, the French audience saw its own resistance to the German occupation. The Germans allowed the play to be performed presumably because they found Creon's arguments for dictatorship so convincing. The play is regularly performed and studied around the world."Anouilh is a poet, but not a poet of words: he is a poet of words-acted, of scenes-set, of players-performing" Peter Brook 823316 1946 Antigone (Methuen Modern Plays) total:532|5:160|4:190|3:128|2:41|1:13| 532 2039 635 39 5 4 false false Mon Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 1999 Wed Feb 21 06:07:02 -0800 2007 Tue May 08 05:01:13 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 4 false false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1975 Sat Nov 22 04:29:41 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 01 12:59:00 -0800 2008 10 Read this play any time you feel you're being talked into something which sounds plausible, but which you know in your heart just stinks.
