"The public is invited to join the Stratford High School Theatre Department as it presents Antigone by Sophocles. The performance will highlight the talents of the Drama 3 Honor students. After a case of sibling rivalry culminates in civil war, King Creon of Thebes forbids anyone from burying the traitor who started it in this fresh and vibrant take on an ancient classic. When his niece Antigone, discontent to let her brother go without proper funeral rites, takes matters into her own hands, she sparks a family feud that pits father against son, sister against sister, and civil law against the gods. King Creon learns all too late, by the destruction of his house, that fate in due course brings fit punishment on outrage." Three showings: Nov. 16-17 at 7 p.m. and Nov. 18 at 3 p.m. in the Stratford High Auditorium.
