THE ORANGE CURTAIN THEATRE PRESENTS
ANOTHER ANTIGONE
Written by A.R. Gurney and Directed by Bob May
American universities today seem more preoccupied with fund-raising and job placement than with the verities of a classical education. Judy Miller, a gifted Jewish college senior, presents a short play to her Greek Theatre professor, Henry Harper. Judy submits an updated, anti-nuclear version of Antigone in place of the formal paper that Harper has assigned. Harper is adamant in his refusal to accept her paper and threatens to fail her and hence keep her from graduating if she doesn’t provide a more traditional paper. A battle of wills ensues, as both of them refuse to budge from their convictions. The play ends with the Professor, like Creon of Sophocles’ Antigone, cast out from his home and left to wander, while Judy’s fate is unknown, except that her life’s dreams and goals have been so challenged that its anyone’s guess if the “old” Judy even exists anymore.
