Experience a timeless narrative of love, rebellion and the indomitable will to challenge authority in Jean Anouilh’s gripping adaptation of “Antigone.” Penned in the shadows of Nazi-occupied France, this version of the age-old saga echoes with defiance against oppressive regimes. Anouilh’s masterful reimagining of Sophocles’ drama offers a potent commentary on the human spirit’s unwavering quest for justice. 

“Antigone” is the 2024-25 Roe Green Production. The CU Department of Theatre & Dance is grateful to donor Roe Green. The Roe Green Visiting Theatre Artist fund allows them to invite professional guest artists to campus each year to work with students.
