Synopsis

A young woman grapples with the forces of power within a society that has gone blind to justice for all. Sophocles' Antigone is held up to us a a mirror for all the freedom fighters and determined women powerful in their pursuits at all costs. A story for our time.

 

Panel Discussion

On Sunday, April 28, at 1:00pm in the Upper Lobby of Hartke Theatre, graduate and undergraduate students of the Department of Greek and Latin will hold a *free* pre-performance panel discussion about ancient theatre and about receptions of Antigone in the modern era. The panel will be moderated by Dr. Sarah Ferrario, instructor of a current departmental course that is studying this drama. The panel will conclude well in time for attendees to make the 2:00pm performance of Antigone right downstairs.
