The Filigree Theatre will begin their fifth anniversary season, entitled “The Woman in the Story,” with Antigone, written by Sophocles and adapted by David Rush.

Set in the immediate aftermath of a devastating civil war, Rush’s vibrant adaptation of Sophocles’ classic play follows fiercely brave Antigone as she faces impossible choices and consequences, choosing between honoring the law of the land or the memory of her fallen brother, all the while existing at the whim of capricious and vengeful gods.
