Compulsively readable and thought-provoking. I loved the play's parallels to the source material as Shekar's characters approach their boiling point at the peak of the action. Snappy dialogue and dynamic characterization at their best! ”

“
A staggering powerhouse of a script. Just absolutely incredible and impeccably executed across the board, from its layered, delicious parallels with its source material, to the pitch-perfect pacing, to the ethical questions it leaves in its wake. As theatre practices and abuse of its artists by those in power comes further into question, this play is a reckoning in so many ways, from class to gender to religion and more, and it is always the youngest of us who suffer the most. We should be doing this play everywhere. Highly recommend. ”

“
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. ”
