    People Are Talking: UMS presents Antigone by Sophokles:

  • This was a disappointing production. The acting was flat. The pacing was slow. The (mildly interesting) back screen projection did not connect thematically to the show, particularly to the underutilized corporate office-style set. People were laughing at Creon’s pain (to be fair, he was wallowing on the stage like a 3-year-old pitching a fit) and Eurydice’s suicide (because of the line about the liver). The messenger’s delivery was monotone and insubstantial as comic relief. This play has so much to offer, and it was painful to see this production miss the mark so broadly.
