The safety of our state depends on it. In the wake of a domestic terror attack, Creon becomes king, and in the name national security, forbids the burial of the insurgents, including his nephew Polyneices. His niece Antigone publically defies Creon's edict and chooses to bury her brother, come what may. Set in a mythic land halfway between ancient Thebes and Washington D.C., this contemporary adaptation of Sophocles' Antigone asks which is more important, the laws of man or the laws of the gods? In a post 9-11 world of drone strikes, the threat of chemical warfare, and the constant buzz of the media, what impossible moral decisions do we ask our leaders to make every day? And when faced the choice between what is right and what is legal, between our country and our family, between taking a stand finding a compromise, what would we do?
