Director Pertulia Ramaphala chose to take the Sophocles’ drama Antigone as the basis of a production for first year students of the Technikon Natal department of drama studies. Antigone Goes to Court ran at the Technikon’s Courtyard Theatre from May 25 to 27 2001.
 
This project takes Jean Anouilh and Lewis Galantiere’s translation of Antigone a step further. The well-worn story of Antigone – a standard workhorse for drama students - is that she buried her brother against the wishes of her uncle, King Creon. As punishment, she was walled up in a cave where she took her own life rather than suffer a slow-suffocating death.
