Antigone
(or And Still She Must Rise Up)
A new leader has taken control of a city ravaged by plague and war, and we find our most sacred moral codes thrown into question. This story is not new, it has been told for thousands of years, and may be told for thousands more. But what if it didn't have to be? What if today was the day the story changed? This is a story of Antigone, the girl who sacrifices everything because she rises up alone against injustice. But it is also a story about now, and what might happen if we finally stood with her.
