    The conflict in Antigone stems from this idea of divine law vs. natural law. How would you reinterpret and “cast” the play in the USA in 2021? Specifically:

    • Who (or what community) would play the character of Antigone?
    • Who (or what community) would play Creon?
    • What would the central tension be? In the original, it’s Polynices’ death and the order against burial rites. What would it be in this version?
