Antigone In Analysis
Theatre
AEA, Showcase - NY
New York City
ANTIGONE IN ANALYSIS is a feminist spin on Sophocles’ tragedy, a contemporary makeover that reimagines the classical Greek myth with a metaphysical twist: a chorus of great thinkers from across time conjures a new version of Sophocles' play, so they can put Jocasta on the throne to square off with Antigone. Their meddling erupts in a mother-daughter throwdown that interrogates patriarchal storytelling through a feminist lens. And there is no battle more fiercely fought than that between a daughter and her mother.
