Description

The war is over. The dead have been buried. The traitors have been punished. People feel more alive than they have in a long time. They are ready to start again. But Antigone is not. She will not move on, and she will not forget. She will drag everyone back if she has to. Lulu Raczkas searing adaptation of Sophocles classic text hands the reins to the young women at its heart, creating something messy, irreverent and vital.
