After Oedipus’ son Polyneices attacks his home city of Thebes and is killed in battle, Creon, king of Thebes, forbids the burial of his body. But Antigone defies the order and chooses to bury her brother, even if the world stands against her.
Written more than 2,000 years ago by Sophocles and translated by Irish poet and Nobel laureate Seamus Heaney, Antigone asks whether we should follow the law of the land or a higher moral calling.
“Greek theater can be intimidating to go see, but here we have the most accessible and alive translation of its kind being carried by a brutally talented cast and crew — it’s going to be an event,” said Shane Hickey, class of 2026.
Hickey directed the production as part of a special student-led season in Stage One.
Tickets are $10 plus a $2 service fee. For more information or to purchase tickets, contact the box office at 718-390-3259 or boxoffice@wagner.edu.
The box office is open from noon to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and one hour before performances. Tickets are also available online at https://wagner.edu/performing-arts/.
