WE ARE ANTIGONE

  • One-Act

Six very different girls walk into a classroom with a simple task: to put Antigone on trail. As they work to condemn or vindicate Sophocles' classic heroine, they find surprising intersections between the text and their own lives, transforming Antigone's struggle into a framework by which to discuss their own experiences, families and aspirations. As they find their voices through verse, rap and song the girls discover the many ways in which each and every one of them is Antigone. Comedy/Drama 45-50 minutes
