The play Antigone has been read and performed for over 2,000 years.
Some productions are faithful to the Greek text, and others have been radically modernized.
In 1944, Anouilh, a French playwright, rewrote Sophocles' play and set it in Nazi-occupied Paris. This modernized drama emphasized the theme of the conflict between moral beliefs and autocratic power that was reflected in the politics of the time. In the 1960's, a critic compared Antigone's act of rebellion with acts of civil disobedience that occurred as part of the civil rights movement. Your film may be set in any time or place, but it must be faithful to the major themes and conflicts in the play. Convincing reasons why your remake of Sophocles' drama, Antigone, will be a popular success.
