Antigone

Politics. Passion. Pride.

Antigone.

Run, do not walk, to see this contemporary retelling of Sophocles' Antigone. Set in a day like today (normal language, people! no weird rhyming!), neither Creon nor Antigone will bend to one another over what they consider personally and socially fundamental beliefs.

Power. Religion. And Greek tragedy. Go see it.

Nora Theatre Company and the Boston Playwrights' Theater, 949 Commonwealth Ave, Boston, MA. 617 931-2000/617 491-2026 for tickets. Only two more days at this location.

If you get a chance to see this adaptation, by Richard McElvain, take it. You won't regret it.
