‘What use are people who are all words and no action?’

Two brothers lie dead.

A new leader has a city to rebuild.

One girl, Antigone, driven by courage to defend her family and beliefs, begins a fight against the tyranny of the state – no matter what the cost. A timeless thriller; interrogating loyalty and truth, honour and pride, Sophocles’ classic Antigone challenges the actions of a person who disobeys the authorities, rallying on behalf of Earth’s greater powers.
