A (Contemporary) Greek Tragedy
Adapted by Kate Besworth
Directed by Jonathan Seinen
April 9-11, 2026
Dorothy Somerset Studio
A bold new adaptation of Sophocles’ Antigone, reimagining the ancient story through a contemporary lens. Set in the aftermath of a conflict, this provocative play explores themes of resistance, conviction, and public responsibility versus personal. Raw, urgent, and emotionally charged, this is a story that echoes across time.
