Abstract
The staging of Sophocles’ Antigone during and directly after the Second World War has been the subject of research in almost all European countries except the Netherlands. This is remarkable because Antigone was the only integral Greek tragedy that was performed during the Nazi-occupation of the Netherlands. In this article, I will compare the socio-political readings of productions of Antigone in 1943 and in 1952, by examining the historical circumstances, their reception in the media and the motives of actors and producers.
