“Antigonick touches on several topics and concepts I’ve explored in my past work - grief, female rage, power and who gets to challenge it - and offers exciting opportunities for actors to grapple with heightened language and emotion. But — for me at least — what Antigonick and all Greek tragedies have to offer artists and audiences is raw, unfiltered catharsis. Even though we know what’s going to happen, even though our characters have been “dead since the beginning,” we scream and cry and rage with them anyway in the hope that something - anything! - might change just this once. And even though the ending never changes, we release some of our own anger, grief, and pain in their final acts of resistance to their own fates. I hope you can find a little bit of whatever catharsis you need here.”
