Description: The Lyric Theatre finished up their Spring 2019 Live at The Lyric series with a performance of "Antigone" from the American Shakespeare Center on Tuesday, April 2, 2019.

In the aftermath of her brothers’ bloody war, Antigone is left torn. Her brother Eteocles will be honored, but her brother Polyneices will be shamed and denied funeral rites. In this ancient tale, Antigone stands for morality in spite of punishment as one of the earliest heroines in drama. Sophocles’s drama from 441 BC holds startling relevance today, examining divinity, obedience, and law – and how love overcomes them all.
