JEFF Recommended
"An Antigone for our times"
"poetically powerful, moving, and thought-provoking...[a] fine piece of storefront Sophocles"
-Albert Williams, Chicago Reader
"Redtwist's compact, seventy-five-minute production, directed by Christine Freije, captures the play's headlong momentum and intensity..."
-Hugh Iglarsh, New City Stage
"...this adaptation of “Antigone” is not your grandparents’ version"
"...under the direction of Christine Freije, the show proceeds at a driving pace."
-Julia W. Rath, Around the Town Chicago
"The stark simplicity of the set and economy of props keeps our focus on the performances, while light and sound preclude a curtain. Director Christine Freije knits it all together seamlessly."
-Sarz Maxwell, Buzz Center Stage
