Antigone / we are the rebels asking for the storm

by Matt Minnicino

A body rots in the sun.
A girl takes a stand against the new regime.
What is she fighting for?
How far can she go?

    The funniest tragedy and darkest comedy you’ll read today! Wonderful subversion of the classic story, really creative use of ensemble.

    Ooof. I have always loved the story of Antigone but this adaptation hits different. Wow.

    A moving read I'd love to see performed. Minnicino's use of the chorus is excellent - I especially enjoyed the speechwriter/staffer scenes.

    This line from Tiresias will stick with me a long while: "how do you say what you know you are going to say / in a way that makes him say some thing different?"
