Antigone

I have only been familiar with the Jean Anouilh adaptation of this play and I have to say I was astonished with how easy it was to read but also how much more dramatic and narratively strong the circumstances are in this original version. I regret not giving this one a read before now! Definitely the most easily digestible ancient text I've ever read. The story and circumstances presented are perhaps more poignant today than when it was written, considering the current political climate.
