EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts the renowned Greek tragedian, Sophocles, in deep contemplation as he watches the performance of his masterpiece, Antigone, at the prestigious Covent Garden Theatre in London during the year 1845. The historic theatre, adorned with ornate columns and grandiose decor, serves as the perfect backdrop for this significant moment in theatrical history. Sophocles, a playwright from ancient Greece, is considered one of the three great tragedians of classical Athens, alongside Aeschylus and Euripides. His works, including Antigone, Oedipus Rex, and Electra, have stood the test of time and continue to be performed and studied around the world. Antigone, a tragic tale of family loyalty and defiance against the state, tells the story of the titular character, who defies the edict of King Creon and buries her brother, Polynices, despite his being considered an enemy of Thebes. This act of loyalty to her family ultimately leads to her own demise. The image captures the intensity and emotion of the play, with Sophocles' expressive face reflecting the profound impact of the performance. The image also serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of Greek tragedy and the continued relevance of Sophocles' works in the world of theatre. This photograph, taken in 1845, offers a unique glimpse into the past, allowing us to witness a moment of history where the ancient and the modern intertwine. The image is a testament to the power of theatre to transport us across time and space, and to remind us of the timeless themes and stories that continue to resonate with audiences today.
