Old Hat Reading Series: Antigonick

Antigonick
Sophokles
Translated by Anne Carson

Featuring: Emma Barash, Tommy Crawford, Derek Loehr, Eamon Murphy and Liz Sutton-Stone
Directed by Erin Capistrano

Old Hat is developing a series of staged readings over the summer that will serve as fundraisers for various community organizations and forums for discussion and political engagement. Proceeds from the event will go to an organization associated with some of the themes/issues raised by the play.

Our first offering, Anne Carson's translation of Antigone, dramatizes the difficulty of translating a classic as much as it does the classic struggle between the individual and the state. Our reading will be followed by a discussion of the play, its themes, and its relevance to our own world.

Proceeds from the event will go to the Women in Prison Project, an organisation that "works to reduce the use of incarceration for women, ensure that prison conditions for women are as humane and just as possible, and create a criminal justice system that treats women and all people with fairness, dignity and justice."
