No surviving or known play by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.) comes after "Antigone" in terms of plot and characters, but "Oedipus at Colonus" comes after in terms of suspected date of writing and performance.
Specifically, the story of Theban King Oedipus and his children is told in chronological order by the sequencing of "Oedipus Rex," then "Oedipus at Colonus" and finally "Antigone." But that is not the order of earliest to latest suspected date of writing and performance. "Antigone" is thought to have been written around 442 B.C.E. "Oedipus Rex" is suspected of having been written around 430 B.C.E. since its first known performance was at the Theatre of Dionysus in Athens, Greece in 429 B.C.E. "Oedipus at Colonus" is guesstimated as having been written just before the playwright's death since its performance was posthumous, in 401 B.C.E.
Thebes is where Antigone lives. It's her hometown. But before the action of the play 'Antigone', she leaves Thebes with her disgraced father, Theban King Oedipus. They travel around in humiliating, miserable exile until they reach Colonus. That's where Oedipus dies. That's when Antigone comes back home.

Yes, Eurydice, the wife of Creon commits suicide in the play 'Antigone'.
An example of verbal irony in Antigone is the "good Creon". He is actually considered bad by Antigone and therefore her statement is ironic.
Antigone is written by Sophocles. It's about how great man is.Shakespeare didn't write Antigone. Sophocles did.
