World Premiere
February 26, 2026 - March 22, 2026
Venue Anspacher Theater
By Anna Ziegler
Directed by Tyne Rafaeli
A riveting take on Sophocles’ classic, ANTIGONE (THIS PLAY I READ IN HIGH SCHOOL) reimagines the story of Oedipus’ daughter Antigone through a bold new lens. Written by award-winning playwright Anna Ziegler, this lyrical epic follows a fiercely independent young woman determined to control her own body in a kingdom ruled by archaic laws that regulate women’s autonomy. Incisively witty and breathtakingly intelligent, ANTIGONE (THIS PLAY I READ IN HIGH SCHOOL) paints a world that is both modern and ancient; a world of lost leaders, hapless cops, and one very righteous daughter on an all-night bender. Drama Desk Award nominee Tyne Rafaeli directs this daring new work about the timeless quest to find your voice.
ANTIGONE (THIS PLAY I READ IN HIGH SCHOOL) will feature Celia Keenan-Bolger (Chorus) and Tony Shalhoub (Creon). Additional casting will be announced at a later date.
