Performing Arts
Millbrook encourages students of all levels of experience to dive into the performing arts as dancers, musicians, singers, actors, dramatic writers and improvisation artists. Knowledge of diverse techniques helps our young artists to grow, both in skill and confidence. Creativity, problem solving, collaboration and peer review are critical to the artist's growth. We encourage students to expand their boundaries through creative exploration, not only of the world but also of themselves.
Antigone
by Sophocles, Translated by Don Taylor
Sophocles' great tragic play dramatizes the clash between the family and the city, presenting an irreconcilable yet equally balanced conflict through high poetry and deep tragedy. Sophoclean heroine Antigone has become a cultural archetype, symbolizing personal integrity and an icon of political freedom, while her co-protagonist Creon can be interpreted as either a civic savior or a ruthless tyrant.
This edition of Don Taylor's translation presents one of the most accessible and performable versions of this ancient play, providing a blueprint for understanding and staging the play today.
