Some unsolicited responses: ANTIGONE is ExTrAOrdINarY. Beautifully directed! Gripping, moving, perfectly analogous to us (We the People Ruled by Agent Orange), gorgeous minimal and flexible stage set and 45-degree-angled-dynamic room, and beautifully acoustically balanced, subtle, minimal sound track, powerful acting, perfect pacing, choreography, and a strong strong sense of group dynamics. a family of actors, auteurs, and Arcturians (who teach that the most important ingredient for thriving in the fifth dimension is: LOVE). Antigone. She’s going places. Such classic demeanor, countenance, and a stage presence so finely honed and projected... she leaves us breathless! Antigone was an enormous gift. You are a masterful director. We who have grown together for years, are now confronting national and global problems together. And I like to think that you, Marcella Trowbridge, in your directing of Sophocles' Antigone, were holding hands across the generations with him and with Brecht and Malina, carrying forward their intents as with a huge banner.. Antigone is the perfect Greek play for these times. And you were the perfect director. Thanks. We all resonated with the words...with the Chorus...with the powerful figures of Antigone, Kreon, Ismene and Tiresias. Because of your careful, passionate directing, every line they delivered was strong, clear, evenly enunciated. The Directors Note in the program said it all: in directing Antigone, you used your Craft to speak to the world of Justice, Betrayal and Hope.
