Anouilh’s Antigone was first produced under the Nazi occupation of France in February, 1942. It passed the Nazi censors, and was approved for production by the Third Reich. Perhaps the classical title was a distraction. In Anouilh’s adaptation we witness the cautionary tale of a party of survivors at war with itself, symbolizing a resistance to fascism and a mirror to our own fractured present. This is the tragedy of a "new order" fractured by a generational divide: between a veteran guard that "said yes" to the burden of leadership, and an iconoclastic generation that "says no" to the sacrifices that follow.
