Feb 24 - Mar 12, 2023
A radical re-imagining of Sophocles’ Antigone, set in Depression Era America. With their disaster of a brother Paul in prison, two adult sisters, Annie and Izzie, struggle to find a moral ground in the fallout of their family’s tragic and ignoble saga.
A play by Ellen McLaughlin.
“A daring and new retelling of the Antigone myth.”
“A challenging, chilling, and rewarding experience... faultlessly delivered by the cast... spellbinding.”
“Radical and strangely beautiful.”
“Splendidly manipulative... poetic and raw.... riveting tension.”
“A profound exploration of human nature.”
“A thought-provoking and disturbing play... the ensemble in this show does an outstanding job.”
