a 21st-century view of the classical play. By Paula Cizmar. With an interview with the playwright by Jeff Janisheski. The once-magnificent world is in a state of rage. Thebes is now a ruin surrounded by refugee camps. And Antigone X could be any of us who dares to stand up to unjust laws and demand, instead, the higher powers of tolerance and decency. A contemporary meditation on love, power, and war, based on the classic by Sophocles by LA-based writer Paula Cizmar. This play-text is part of NoPassport Press' Dreaming the Americas Series.
