Georgia Shakespeare's Antigone
Richard Garner gives a new take on a very old story.

Adapted and directed by Richard Garner
Music by Kendall Simpson

by Lois Reitzes

The Greek tragedy of Antigone continues to find audiences almost twenty five hundred years after Sophocles wrote it. And the latest adaptation comes from Georgia Shakespeare. WABE's Lois Reitzes recently sat down with artistic director Richard Garner for a conversation about the production and what makes the story so compelling.
