A deft and powerful re-imagining of the Antigone myth, one in which the playwright aggressively seeks to subvert the dominant paradigm. Cleaving to Sophocles' original, Goldman-Sherman has created an astonishing and original emulation of the structure of both Greek tragedy and comedy. The women's tragedy is lyrical and knowing, the men ignorant, fearful and low. A compelling tale for our times.
