"Antigone Now" written by Melissa Cooper, is a modernized version of the Greek tragedy "Antigone".
This show is about Antigone and her sister Ismene living in a post-war city where their uncle Creon is the king. Antigone and Ismene’s brothers, Polynices and Eteocles, were fighting on opposite sides of the war. When they tragically killed each other in the war, Creon only buried Eteocles, and he ordered that Polynices be left dead in the street. When Antigone goes behind her uncle's back and buries Polynices, she is arrested and executed.
