Antigone (This Play I Read in High School) - Joseph Papp Free First Performance Lottery tickets

Don’t miss this bold reimagining of Antigone, where a fierce woman challenges archaic laws in a modern classic.
Two women sit on chairs on a dark stage. One wears a brown cardigan and black dress, appearing serious, while the other wears a black leather jacket and boots, looking off to the side.
Two people stand close at a bar; one grips the other's shirt while looking at them intently, with a bottle and a towel on the counter in front of them.

Three women are on stage; two sit closely on a couch, one holding a necklace, while a third woman looks on from the background. The scene appears dramatic and intimate.

About Antigone (This Play I Read in High School) - Joseph Papp Free First Performance Lottery

A riveting take on Sophocles’ classic, ANTIGONE (THIS PLAY I READ IN HIGH SCHOOL) reimagines the story of Oedipus’ daughter Antigone through a bold new lens. Written by award-winning playwright Anna Ziegler, this lyrical epic follows a fiercely independent young woman determined to control her own body in a kingdom ruled by archaic laws that regulate women’s autonomy. Incisively witty and breathtakingly intelligent, ANTIGONE (THIS PLAY I READ IN HIGH SCHOOL) paints a world that is both modern and ancient; a world of lost leaders, hapless cops, and one very righteous daughter on an all-night bender. Drama Desk Award nominee Tyne Rafaeli directs this daring new work about the timeless quest to find your voice. 

Run time
