A review by olivia_piepmeier
Antigone by Sophocles, Anne Carson

dark funny sad fast-paced

4.75

Despite the fact this was recommended by a friend I respect, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this and I imagine that's the response of many who are used to plain ole dry Sophocles translations. Especially with the more modern and accessible language, it's easy to see how the underlying concepts within the story, of morals/doing what's right, could be seen in a different light. Particularly having experience IN a Sophocles Chorus, I see great and interesting opportunities in staging this with the chorus!
