Antigone New Version

During the 1940s Europe was engulfed in the bloodiest war in history. Also, Facist dictators were in charge of Germany, Italy, and Spain. Basically Europe was torn apart by totalitarianism and war. Millions of innocent people were dying. This sparked a wave of Existentialist writers in France. They considered the idea that life was without any deeper meaning. I think that this play will have existential themes, as well as tragedy.
