If you've read Antigone, you would know that the Greek tragedy that Sophocles penned in 500 BC narrated a classic David vs Goliath tale, where the leading lady, Antigone takes on the might of the proud King Creon and defies his orders to secretly bury her beloved slain brother and rebel of the civil war, Polyneices. Angered by her dissent, the king orders her execution, overlooking that she is also the lover of his son, Hameon.

Reimagined as a Zoom production by city-based The Pomegranate Workshop, this unique adaptation, Antigone 24x7 by young adults will take viewers on a visually enriching journey to explore the motivations of Emperor Creon, his love-torn son Haemon, and the tragic heroine Antigone's fight to surmount the odds.
