When her brothers are slain fighting for the throne of Thebes, Antigone finds herself pitted against her uncle, the newly crowned King Creon. In defiance of the king, Antigone buries her brother's body, a choice she may pay for dearly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this new adaptation, we see Sophocles' play reignited by bestselling poet and writer Hollie McNish. Hollie's considered retelling brings Sophocles' original text to a modern-day audience, illuminating the remarkable resemblances between ancient Greek thought and the society we grapple with today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHollie writes with honesty, conviction, humor, and love. She's always been one of my favorites, Kae Tempest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 144g\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 125 x 198 x 22 (mm)\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780349727189\\n                            \\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hollie McNish","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44097643512058,"sku":"9780349727189","price":8.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/b1094ef83e420717500cabec9c18ad9a.jpg?v=1635133518","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/antigone-a-new-adaptation-of-the-classic-greek-tragedy","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
