Oedipus | Antigone Closing!

Tonight we said goodbye to ancient Greece. The reviews and feedback from the show have been fantastic. It has been great to work with a new group of artists dedicated to the classics. Although I have enjoyed the challenge and the process, I must say that I am ready to leave Oedipus | Antigone behind. I am emotionally and physically exhausted from night after night of high tragedy. It's been an experience worthy of Sophocles.

 

The fates have spoken! Read the reviews...

"Archway Theater's revamped productions of Sophocles' 'Oedipus-Antigone' demonstrates that though challenging to portray, the classics still have power and potential for the audience of today. Adapted and directed by Archway's Artistic Director Steven Sabel, this new production manages to rest on the foundations of the original Greek style, yet present it in a fashion relatable to the modern audience."
