Contemporary retelling of ancient Greek tragedy
Tracy Berchi plays the role of Antigone.
WILLIAMSVILLE - Rock River Players present Sophocles’ “Antigone” in a contemporary translation by Paul Woodruff Friday, September 13, to Friday, September 20.
“Antigone” was the first in the last set of plays, the Theban plays, written by Sophocles (c. 496 to 406 BCE). Followed by “Oedipus Rex” and “Oedipus at Colonus,” the tragedies center on the characters of Oedipus and Antigone and the myriad challenges they and their (rather odd) family face.
