Antigone (NAATCO)

The National Asian-American Theatre Company (NAATCO) offers a “new look at an old play” with Brendan Kennelly’s contemporary translation of Sophocles’ Antigone. The production features original music by composer Robert Murphy and incorporates gender-reversed casting, with Mia Katigbak as King Creon, the proud ruler whose unbending will condemns the defiant Antigone. Jean Randich directs.

One of the most revered Greek tragedies, Antigone examines the consequences of fate and the timeless conflicts that make us human: the friction between women and men, youth and age, individual and society, dead and living, war and peace, gods and mortals.

There is an additional 3pm matinee on Saturday, August 7th.
