Antigone, the tragic heroine from Ancient Greece, has long been the subject of dramatic content. In this modern adaptation of the story of Antigone, the glory of her rebellion and the clarity of her thinking are paramount. Michael Burton’s sensitive style and comprehension of the young, has written this play for twelfth graders, a time at which the Antigone psyche is strong. Standing against her uncle, the king, and against all the odds, she is the epitome of feminine strength, determination, and love. A brilliant play for high schoolers, especially for young women!
