By Anne Carson
Directed by Professor Tim Dugan

Anne Carson’s radical translation of Antigone invites us to reconsider Sophocles’ all-too-familiar characters. Politically incisive, emotionally raw, and frequently deadpan, the play shatters our expectations of genre and category, ultimately asking: what happens when we are deprived of the ability to grieve?
