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?

    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?"

    An excellent adaptation of this great tale. Accessible and viscerally alive, a timeless and important story that's just as vital as when it originated. Well done!
