Antigone in New York

It’s fascinating how classic themes are reimagined in a contemporary setting. I wonder what inspired the choice to place Antigone in New York and explore these issues today.

The tension between tradition and assimilation was so palpable. I’d love to hear if others found the ending optimistic or painfully realistic.

Bringing a Polish literary classic into an American context must have added layers of meaning. How do you think this translation affected the story’s message about identity and belonging?
