Antigone, This Play I Read In High School

Presented by ACT's Young Core Company

How far would you go to protect what you believe?” When Antigone makes a fateful decision about her body, her uncle makes an equally fateful decision to uphold the law of the land rather than protect her. This utterly contemporary script reimagines the classic Greek tragedy to explore the fallout to families when bodies and the body politic collide. With sly humor and primal power, Antigone invites everybody to connect with empathy across physical and moral distance.
