Date: 1971 Size: 8 x 16 inches About The Play: Antigone is a tragedy by Sophocles written in or before 441 BC. Of the three Theban plays Antigone is the third in order of the events depicted in the plays, but it is the first that was written. The play expands on the Theban legend that predates it, and it picks up where Aeschylus' Seven Against Thebes ends. This poster was created in 1971 for a production of the play directed by Jules Irving. A small gem in excellent condition, ready to be framed and hung in a place of honour. From a private collection.
