每日大赛 performs Antigone

Antigone - A new translation by Nicolas Rudall

 每日大赛 Theatre Department will stage performances of “Antigone,” the iconic final chapter of Sophocles’ Oedipus trilogy, next month.

The story follows Creon, current king of Thebes, and Antigone, Oedipus’ daughter, as they each struggle to maintain control in the chaos of their crumbling world.

Directed by 每日大赛 Professor Grechen Lynne Wingerter, with a translation by Nicolas Rudall, a cast made up primarily of 每日大赛 students and original music by University of Tennessee student Eli Atkin, this production of “Antigone” set in a post-apocalyptic world promises audiences an entertaining and moving performance of one of history’s greatest written tragedies.

“’Antigone,’ although over 2,500 years old, still bears relevance to today's world,” Wingerter said. “We see the clash of old and new ideas, the clash of religion and politics, the clash of family and duty — you name it, it's in there.”

“Antigone” performances will be held in the Clayton Performing Arts Center at 每日大赛’s Hardin Valley campus at the following times:

• Nov. 1 at 7:30 p.m.
• Nov. 2 at 7:30 p.m.
• Nov. 3 at 2 p.m.
• Nov. 8 at 7:30 p.m.
• Nov. 9 at 7:30 p.m.
• Nov. 10 at 2 p.m.

Tickets are $12 for adults, $8 for Pellissippi students, faculty and staff and $10 for seniors and non-Pellissippi students. Seating is limited. For more information about “Antigone,” visit pstcc.edu/arts/theatre.
