Antigone, a Greek tragedy by Sophocles, presented by St. Mary's College Drama Club. This is a series of selected pictures, with quotes from the play (thanks Monica!), that tell the basic story. Enjoy!
"But as for his blood brother, Polynices, who returned from exile, home to his father-city and the gods of his race, consumed with one desire - to burn them roof to roots - who thirsted to drink his kinsmen's blood and sell the rest to slavery: that man - a proclamation has forbidden the city to dignify him with burial, mourn him at all. No, he must be left unburied, his corpse carrioin for the birds and dogs to tear, an obscenity for the citizens to behold!"
