←Recommendations of Antigone, presented by the girls of St. Catherine's

This is the best play!!!!! BRILLIANT! It is not only Antigone but Antigone (the play within this play) inspires the young women characters and they in turn inspire me and hopefully everyone else who ever sees this play! WONDERFULLY WRITTEN! Each character is so well drawn, and I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. KUDOS!

This play has all the vivid intensity and hurtling sense of inevitability of the Greek tragedy being rehearsed. The key difference is that these young women ultimately stand up to the charismatic monster who might otherwise destroy at least one of them. This is a work of exhilarating craft with an exhilaratingly affirming, if hard-won, outcome.

This is an Antigone for today, as we gradually realize we're seeing the Antigone plot line happening to the cast putting on Antigone at St. Catherine's Catholic all-girls school. What is it like to be young and faced with horrible choices that can change your life forever and devastate people you love? Just as the cast of this Antigone discovers during rehearsals, it's terrible but also sometimes has to be done, no matter the outcome. This is a great play, contemporary and timeless. Highly, highly recommended!

I LOOOVED this play. Truly couldn't stop reading. Great adaptation of Antigone, powerful roles for teenagers, truly something special.
