Focusing on the aftermath of Oedipus’ inescapable fate and Antigone’s attempt to set her family right, Ismene: A New Greek Classic follows its titular character, the last member of the family, as she attempts to move on from the various tragedies that have defined her past. However, her attempts at normalcy (an office job and a mediocre apartment) are constantly interrupted by the chorus of family ghosts ruining her life in small, inconsiderate ways. And she keeps getting a phone call from an unknown number that definitely isn’t Antigone. When the ghosts get frustrated and steal her phone, she must go on a quest to retrieve it that will put her through such horrors as seeking closure with her mother, and finally telling her dad what a dick he is.
