The Greek play “Antigone” takes a rebellious turn this week in the Music and Dramatic Arts Building’s Shaver Theatre as the Sophocles classic goes punk.
The play features the classic conflict between Antigone and her uncle Creon, and their struggle is represented through the punk movement, which was about a struggle over who was in power, said Michael Tick, director of “Antigone”.
“I don’t think people will expect this at all,” said Jake Loup, theater major and “Antigone” cast member. “People are going to be really curious and start to buzz about [the play].”
“Antigone” runs today and Wednesday, Oct. 21 with two performances Friday, Oct. 23.
Tickets are $18 for adults and $12 for students.
