Antigone, This Play I Read In High School – Young Core Company @ ACT Theatre (Downtown Seattle)

When Antigone makes a fateful decision about her body, her uncle makes an equally fateful decision to uphold the law of the land rather than protect her.

Asking, How far would you go to protect what you believe?, this utterly contemporary script reimagines the classic Greek tragedy to explore the fallout to families when bodies and the body politic collide. With sly humor and primal power, Antigone invites everybody to connect with empathy across physical and moral distance. Written by Anna Ziegler, directed by Shana Bestock, and performed by ACT’s Young Core Company.
