About the show

Jocasta tries to reconcile her sons Eteocles and Polynices, who dispute the throne of Thebes. As war approaches, Teiresias says Creon must sacrifice his son Menoeceus to save the city. Menoeceus does so, but the brothers kill each other in a duel and Jocasta takes her life. Antigone defies Creon's burial order and accompanies her exiled father Oedipus.
