A modern retelling of Sophocles' classic play, Antigone, by
bestselling writer and poet Hollie McNish As the daughter of
Oedipus, Antigone was dealt a cruel hand at birth - even within the
bounds of Grecian tragedy. When her brothers are slain fighting for
the throne of Thebes, Antigone finds herself pitted against her
uncle, the newly crowned King Creon. In defiance of the king,
Antigone buries her brother's body, a choice she may pay for
dearly. In this new adaptation, we see Sophocles' play reignited by
bestselling poet and writer Hollie McNish. Hollie's considered
retelling brings Sophocles' original text to a modern-day audience,
illuminating the remarkable resemblances between ancient Greek
thought and the society we grapple with today. '[Hollie McNish]
writes with honesty, conviction, humour and love . . . She's always
been one of my favourites' Kae Tempest
