This modern adaptation of an ancient story leaps to the stage with accessibility and a relevant energy.
While the story was born in ancient Greece, this play could take place in modern Afghanistan, Syria, or the streets of the US. A new Antigone takes the stage, infusing the story with her presence, urgency, values, humor, and humanity. Following a battle royal, both of Antigone’s brothers are slain. One will be buried with honors; the other is condemned to go unburied, his body, desecrated. Antigone, knowing that her brother’s soul will be denied passage to the afterlife, defies her uncle’s edict and buries her brother. As the new king, Creon cannot ignore her actions. Antigone and Creon are locked in conflict - which is more important the letter or the spirit of the law? This modern adaptation marries the elegance of the original to dynamic modern energy and performance style.
