K-STATE 1xbet sports betting PRESENTING GREEK TRAGEDY 'ANTIGONE'

MANHATTAN-- Kansas State University 1xbet sports betting will present the Greek tragedy "Antigone" at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 7-9 and Oct. 13-16 in Nichols 1xbet sports betting .

Written by Sophocles, "Antigone" portrays themes of social injustice and civil disobedience. The play follows the story of Antigone, Oedipus' daughter, as she fights to bury her deceased brother Polyneices -- an act punishable by death according to a new law set down by her uncle, Creon, the king of Thebes. Antigone views burying her brother as a moral imperative and is willing to sacrifice her own life in the service of this greater justice.

The K-State production of "Antigone" is directed by Ginny Pape, instructor of 1xbet sports betting ; set design is by Kathy Voecks, assistant professor of 1xbet sports betting ; costume design is by Dana Pinkston, associate professor of 1xbet sports betting ; and lighting design is by John Uthoff, associate professor of 1xbet sports betting .
