A conservative civil servant fears he will lose his job and be disgraced after his wife's bloomers fall down in public.

During the Theban civil war, Antigone’s brothers fight on opposing sides and are killed. King Creon decrees one brother's body will remain on the battlefield, unburied and without holy rites.
