“Antigone,” Anouilh’s best-known play, was first performed in 1944 Nazi-controlled Paris and provoked much controversy. Adapted from the classic Greek story about a young girl who defies a tyrant and is sent to her death, Anouilh uses Greek mythology to explore many disturbing and moral dilemmas of more modern times.
