Antigone
Broom Street Theater 1119 Williamson St., Madison, Wisconsin 53703
The classic Greek tragedy Antigone pits rebel princess Antigone against the practical King Creon, soon after a civil war. Broom Street presents the world premiere of an adaptation by radical philosopher Slavoj Žižek, who questions the traditional role of the rebel as the ethical antidote to state power. The mostly female cast stars Stacey Garbarski as Antigone and Jamie England as Creon, with poet-philosopher and Žižek colleague Christopher William Wolter directing.
