CURTAIN CALL: From Serio with love

POSTED: Tuesday, February 28, 2012, 1:00 PM

Even with a play over two millennia old, Quintessence Theatre Group’s determined to make its production of Antigone feel fresh. For starters, the company is staging French dramatist Jean Anouilh’s modern adaptation of Sophocles’ classic tragedy. Written in the midst of Nazi occupation, Anouilh’s update used the title character’s civil disobedience as a symbol of the French resistance. As a result, Antigone’s stand against authority feels a lot more relevant to the modern era than in Sophocles’ original — a powerful, resonant parable.

Wed., Feb. 29-Sun., March 25, $30, Sedgwick Theater, 7137 Germantown Ave., 877-238-5596, quintessencetheatre.org.
