Too Much Memory

"Presents too many stereotypes to drive the issues home. It's not for lack of wit and imagination: Moran's speeches are funny, fresh, and wise and delivered with aplomb and poise. But it's hard to care about Antigone's struggle to give her traitor brother a decent burial when she is so gratingly unlikable. "

"Gibson keeps this drama moving briskly. Outstanding ensemble acting highlights the clash of principles that propels Creon and Antigone." & "Laura Heisler's Antigone is ably rendered, yet, clad in childlike clothing and rubber boots, she seems at times more stubborn than genuinely tragic." & "The tragedy ends with all-too-modern explosions and death, leaving behind indelible fragments of thought-provoking ideas."

"Something about "Antigone" has kept audiences and writers returning to its troubling story for millennia, but that something has been lost in translation in Keith Reddin and helmer/co-writer Meg Gibson's version." & "Those questions have been excised from this version, allowing it to become a kind of liberal persecution fantasia about the evil that Republican men do.
