...The aftermath of a bloody war...a triumphant new King with a mighty patriotic resolve...a young woman with an irresistible moral urge...an impassioned young prince brought to his knees on a not-so-nice day for a white wedding that goes irretrievably missing... This story of Antigone explodes with cataclysmic clashes between personal loyalty and patriotic duty, between the sacred and the secular, between love and law. But what will happen when power enforces rule that decimates the humanity, morality, and voices of its individuals? 
Nobel Prize-winning Irish poet Seamus Heaney's 2004 version of Sophocles' Antigone, centers on this question with contemporary vivid language that fiercely catapults this classical drama onto our millennium Zeitgeist. Directed by 2nd-year M.F.A. candidate Alanna Malone.
