Written by Anne Carson
Directed by Sarah Shapiro ’23
Project advised by Assistant Professor of Theater Katie Pearl

Which is more important: caring for and honoring those you love, or respecting the letter of the law? What is really being measured in this life? Anne Carson brings Sophocles’ Greek tragedy Antigone into the contemporary world by fracturing it into stupendous imagery and startling, spare language. This production will use the structure of Carson’s Antigonick (2012) to explore how theater can function as a ritual to create community and connection. Directed by Sarah Shapiro ’23 in partial fulfillment for Honors in Theater.
