About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Antigone, by Sophocles (translated by Francis Storr). This is the final installment in Sophocles's Theban Plays, following Oedipus Rex and Oedipus at Colonus. Oedipus's daughter Antigone deliberately breaks the laws of Thebes when she buries her brother's body and is sentenced to death. She clashes with Creon, the King of Thebes, over what constitutes justice and morality: the laws of the state or the laws of the individual.
