I Kreon, a confrontational re-imagining of Sophocles' Antigone, questions the validity of absolute leadership and the social cost of living in a "free" world. The play opens with the cast screaming in darkness, their masked faces illuminated by scattered flashlights. It's a dramatic entrance, conveying every bit of the chaos that ripples outward from the play's central tragedy. Following a perceived terrorist attack, Antigone must choose whether to denounce King Kreon's rule or to preserve her social status by giving her criminal brother a proper burial.
