In a play, two men discuss a work titled for this character after shoveling sand toward each other. (10[1])While portraying (10[1])this character, a man tears off his wig and shouts, “Time waits no longer… I honored those things to which honor belongs.” Two prisoners rehearse a play titled for this character (10[1])before a prison riot breaks out in John Kani, Winston Ntshona, and Athol Fugard’s play The Island. Ismene tries to stop (10[1])this character, who defies Creon (10[1])and is buried alive.
