Australia's royal family are in crisis. Socialite recreational drug taking Princess Antigone is forced to beg on the streets with her mad, blind father. She returns back to the palace on news of the deaths of her brothers and tries to inspire her people. A tragic-comedy that is both politically satire and a contemporary take on Sophocle's classic.
