“
Shekar has mastered the vocabulary and mannerisms of teenage girls and put it into a striking piece of writing. ‘Antigone’ is a brilliant fusion of nostalgia, modernism, and classic theatrical techniques. ”

“
Paralleling its source material while also bringing it into the mainstream, Antigone, presented by the girls of St. Catherine's captures an important moment in these young girls' lives that is wrought with conflicting emotions. The interactions between the girls feels natural and what you would hear from a group of hormonal teens under the restrictive grasp of their private school. I loved the conclusion that this piece built to and thought the pacing was well done. ”

“
Antigone, presented by the girls of St. Catherine's, is a deep play about the structure and the confines in which some use their power and privilege over others. When I started, the piece did not expect that it would end where it did or that it was going to tackle such themes. But I'm impressed with where the playwright took the piece. These characters have unique dynamics that genuinely make you feel for their struggles and the societal pressures on young women. I can't wait to read more from the author. ”
