SITI Company: Antigone October 31, 2009

SITI Company's most recent addition to its repertoire is a starkly contemporary retelling by Irish writer Jocelyn Clarke of Sophocles' classic tale of family loyalty, patriotism, war, and the powers of the state. Antigone, the cursed daughter of Oedipus and Jocasta, defies the King of Thebes for the right to bury her own brother.
