Antigone (Wednesday Theatre)

"Antigone" is a 1966 Australian TV play directed by Patrick Barton.

[6] Antigone, daughter of Oedipus, is sentenced to death by Creon, King of Thebes, for defying his orders and burying the body of her dead brother.

[7] Barton said the role of Antigone "is usually reserved for the stage's established stars.

He aimed to make the production as realistic as possible and based costumes on photos of peasants in Crete and Greece.

[4] The Age thought Westwell "did not quite succeed in projecting the intensity of the personal conflict" and the Goddard "seemed over emotional.
