A comedy with tragic consequences. A tragedy with hilarious antics. An actor caught between acting and not acting. An antic disposition. A delay in justice. A rotten state. A just end. Advice to the players: Though this be madness, yet there is method in’t. The rest is silence. That undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveler returns.

Antigone

All Antigone wants is to bury her fallen brother. She can’t because the great leader Creon has forbidden it. It may be that a would-be dictator begins with good intentions but all too soon the intoxication of absolute power corrupts the mind, and that corruption pollutes all who are ruled by the mad leader. You might think that a play that is over two thousand years old has little to offer to our time, but when you see Antigone, you will understand more clearly that little dictators can still emerge today, and they can still lead us to a tragic ending.

A stubborn doctor wants to save lives by bringing attention to a public health crisis, but his efforts are stymied by politicians and citizens concerned with economic repercussions. Branded an “enemy of the people” by those seeking to silence him, he stands to lose everything dear to him – his job, his reputation, his family and their future well-being – if he continues to speak out.
