Antigone in Analysis

Mar 20 - Apr 5, 2026

A feminist spin on Sophocles’ tragedy, this contemporary makeover reimagines the classical Greek myth with a metaphysical twist: a chorus of great thinkers from across time conjures a new version of Sophocles’ play, putting Jocasta on the throne to square off with Antigone. Their meddling erupts in a mother-daughter throwdown that interrogates patriarchal storytelling through a feminist lens. And there is no battle more fiercely fought than that between a daughter and her mother. As conflicts escalate in the chorus, mayhem ensues with a surprising resolution in this new play written for mothers, daughters, and everyone who’s ever had one.
