Some thoughts on Antigone

Anouillh's version of Antigone was a bit easier for the audience to get the feel for. The play was moved more into modern standards, yet it still retained its classical roots fairly well. The idea of playing games seems to be a very vivd image in the play from the guards playing cards to Creon trying to play his political games.

I agree. I was hesitant about the adaptation at first, but after reading the entire play, I was very pleased at the outcome. I felt more emotional involvement with the story.
