The
world is a dark and
terrible place.
Everyone you care about
is either dead or insane.
You are banished to a
school for girls at the
end of the world.
And a horde of blood-thirsty
monsters have followed
you all the way...
Will you fight? Or will
you submit and die?
The
critically acclaimed
play not only begins
where ANTIGONE ends,
but fights to bring an
ethical and logical understanding
to the
sadistic and chaotic
tyranny of the gods.
"Ismene
definitely
offers some
unusual twists,
both in the
classic
vein and
in its relevance
to contemporary
life..."
- Culture, Current Calendar
"Menekseoglu tempers
his rage
and disappointment
with
a profoundly compassionate
and humane understanding
of
his characters.
Ismene is
no angry
sneer."
- Zac Thompson, Fool's
Gold Coast
