- Extends the remarkable history of Sophocles' play, by analysing its reinterpretation in numerous extremely diverse contexts
- Pioneering exploration of the reception of a classical Greek play in the non-Western world
- Extensive bibliography offers readers more information about productions of Antigone all over the world, as well as written studies
Antigone on the Contemporary World Stage is the first book to analyse what happens to Sophocles' play as it is adapted and (re)produced around the world, and the first to focus specifically on Antigone in performance. The essays, by an international gathering of noted scholars from a wide range of disciplines, highlight the numerous ways in which social, political, historical, and cultural contexts transform the material, how artists and audiences in diverse societies including Argentina, The Congo, Finland, Haiti, India, Japan, and the United States interact with it, and the variety of
issues it has been used to address.
Readership: Scholars and students of Classics, Theatre Studies, Comparative Literature, Performance Studies, Women's Studies.
