Anouilh's Antigone (Barbara Bray)

Strong acting and a wealth of depth to the story. Brittany and Miguel are incredible as Antigone and Creon. ... full review

Wow! So well done! I was very impressed with how creatively thy were able to use such a small space and simple props to create such a rich and elaborate performance. Amazing acting all around from Brittany McGregor's solid performance as Antigone, to Miguel Perez's booming presence as Creon in every scene he's in, to the haunting and surprisingly funny Tyler Peck's Prologue/Chorus, rounded out by Michael Vega's hilarious interpretation as Jonas. It's a little long but very much worth the time spent! Go see this!!... full review

Antigone was too uneven a production for me to fully enjoy. Though Ms. McGregor has a compelling presence, things really came alive when Miguel Perez came onstage as Creon. Had the play consisted of only their relationship and struggle I would have been happier. Among the other players, only Michael Vega as Jonas did anything interesting. I was terrifically annoyed by Tyler Peck’s smug portrayal which he apparently doesn’t think we need to actually hear, either. Yes, we’re in a small house but most of what he and Katarina Rose Fabic say is either rushed and inarticulate or mostly just inaudible. Perez is the real deal here.... full review

I attended because "I know people". I thought the play was called Anti- GONE, and thought it was going to be a horror genre. I was nervous, as I am not a fan of seeing people get killed. I was pleasantly surprised that the play was in fact not a horror genre. The actors were wonderful and I paid vigilant attention the entire hour. It did take me a few minutes to understand the language, as it is a period piece, but that is because I never graduated college or studied any plays whatsoever. Yes, I should have me SAG card revoked. I recommend going!... full review

It's very rare to watch a Greek tragedy that makes you laugh!! And that's what I loved about it. The acting was amazing!!!! The use of the minimal space and the way it was blocked was incredible!!! All the relationships between the characters were unique to each other which made the story so believable!!! Great directing, clearly the show had incredible work behind the scenes!!! I'd see it again and again!! A must see ... full review

Flawless direction and performances, powerful in all its meanings. A must see. ... full review

This is a gorgeous production, well-acting and beautifully directed by Joseph Matarrese. Brittany Kilcoyne McGregor is stunning as the determined young Antigone, who is intent on honoring her dead brother despite fierce opposition from Creon, masterfully portrayed by Miguel Pérez. Michael Vega, a skilled physical comedian, brings levity and tenderness to the role of Jonas, a guard sent to sit with Antigone during her imprisonment. ... full review

Whoo boy! It's embarrassingly awful. Except for Miguel Perez as Creon, the actors just aren't up to Greek tragedy and the direction is practically non-existent. Rubber-faced mugging isn't acting and neither is shouting. The actors often don't seem to know what to do with their feet. Argh! Skip it.... full review

Heading in to see Anouilh's Antigone, I had a limited knowledge of the play and was excited to see a new interpretation of the morality story that I had read in high school. Even if some of the details of the story had faded, I was empowered coming in that I knew the play was not a horror story about a mysterious bug spray and it's effects sweeping across the kingdom (ANTI-GONE- say it a few times and you can imagine on the shelf next to the OFF and deet products.) I have been to many plays in my life- Broadway, off- Broadway, Community theater and small shows like this one, but I have never seen an opening like this that Joseph Matarrese (director) presented to the audience. As we were filing in, the cast was already on stage, in charact... full review

This may not be your typical fringe festival show... but it is a must see! Joe Matarrese thrusts you into the world of Antigone and you almost forget you are watching a Greek Tragedy. Antigone herself, played by a young woman named Brittany, embodies this character so beautifully! She had teen angst and deep sorrow and eloquently spoke those words. As any actor would know... there is a trap that you can fall into with so much dialogue, but Brittany kept my full attention never getting lost in her words. Great job Joe, Amy, John!! Great great job to everyone involved!!! ... full review
