“Antigone” is Sophocles’ timeless and powerful examination of personal duty to
family and faith versus the laws of the state. Antigone, the daughter of
Oedipus, must choose between the orders of the king, Creon, or against what she
believes are the wishes of the gods. The play, written around 441 B.C., is one
of the most enduring tragedies in Western history.
Boise State’s production is directed by Ann Hoste and features costumes by Lito-John
Demetita. Demetita, a former Boise State student, has designed costumes for
Ballet Idaho in the past but was asked to come back to Theatre Arts to work on “Antigone.”
His costumes are timeless, reflecting the militaristic, contemporary set.
