  With fierce originality, this powerful adaptation of the Sophocles tragedy presents a world of honour, treachery and fateful consequences. Acclaimed actress, Genevieve Bujold, skilfully combines elements of zealotry and idealism in her affecting portrait of Antigone. Jean Anouilh's retelling of Antigone stages the inescapably wrenching, central confrontation between Antigone and Creon by presenting Miss Bujold and Mr. Weaver seated at a long, executive-suite table - a hallmark of Anouilh's play. The New York Times critic, John J. O'Connor, lauded this Antigone as well acted, well directed and beautifully staged.
