Antigone

"An outstanding dramatic contribution." -Variety

With fierce originality, this powerful adaptation of the Sophocles tragedy presents a world of honor, treachery and fateful consequences. Acclaimed actress Genevieve Bujold skillfully combines element of zealotry and idealism in her effecting portrait of Antigone. Jean Anouilh's retelling of "Antigone" shows the inescapably wrenching central confrontation between Antigone and Creon by presenting Bujold and Weaver seated at a long, executive-suite table - a hallmark of Anouilh's play. The New York Times critic John J. O'Connor lauded this Antigone as "well acted, well directed and beautifully staged."
