Hi neighbors,

I wanted to be sure that information about BarnArts' production of Antigone crosses your radar. Not only does it feature one Belmont resident (me!), but it's also an extraordinary translation (by poet & classicist Anne Carson) directed, designed, and performed by an incredible group of VT & NH folks who continually amaze me with their talents. The story has stood the test of time for a reason, and what better time than now to consider the span of our moral compasses. It's a beautiful drive to Barnard and the show is roughly 90 minutes. You won't regret it! I'm happy to answer any questions.

ANTIGONE
by Sophokles
translated by Anne Carson
directed by Erin Bennett

Feb. 20-22 7:30 PM
Feb. 23 2:00 PM

Barnard Town Hall
115 North Rd.

In the aftermath of a bitter war, King Kreon honors only one of Antigone's brothers with a proper burial and forbids the burial of the other. Antigone's response kicks off a series of tragic events that challenge all in their path. Anne Carson's modern and vivid translation of Sophokles' classic Greek tragedy brings the tale of Antigone's unshakable moral compass to a contemporary world.

Presented by a troupe of singing, dancing, juggling, clowning, kazoo-playing and ukulele-strumming local performers, this colorful production brings you a 2500 year old story of love, bravery, and injustice as you have never seen it before!

Starring: Aaron Michael Hodge, Bridgette Hammond, Dory Psomas, Fergus Ryan, Julianne Borger, Kevin Donohue, Kyle Huck, Laura Montgomery, Olivia Piepmeier
