“
A fantastic ensemble piece for young women that is both beautiful and tragic - just as its source material can be. Each character is a delightfully and intriguingly full person who I could gladly watch for far longer than the length of the play. And along with the brilliant way this play uses Sophocles' Antigone and creates something even bigger, I love that it challenges the notion of "the show must go on" and asks us if that is truly the healthiest mentality to promote. ”

This one hits the mark in such an unflinching way. Bold and honest in the way that high school girls are. ”

“
As an English teacher who taught ANTIGONE for years and a playwright, I truly admired this play. Each character is a uniquely rendered individual. The circumstances of the school mimic the stakes and weight of tragedy itself. The action from start to end feels inevitable but not stale--it poignantly and tragically comments on the larger social forces standing in the way of girls and women. In a contemporary twist on tragic structure, the end feels hopeful--what happens in the play is a travesty and tragedy, but the final moment foreshadows the idea that change can come through resistance. ”
