About this listen

Antigone and Ismene, the daughters of Oedipus, discuss the disaster that has just befallen them. Their brothers Polynices and Eteocles have killed one another in a battle for control over Thebes. Creon who now rules the city, refuses Polynices proper burial rites. Family loyalties, bloody warfare and an edict that one sister cannot honour. The third part of Sophocles masterpiece comes to its dramatic conclusion, in a stunning new production.©2016 Audible, Ltd. (P)2016 Audible, Ltd.

Excellent. I enjoyed the clarity of the performance bringing out the crass sadness of Creon.

Really enjoyable
