Promethean Theatre Ensemble will present ANTIGONE by Jean Anouilh<\/a>, adapted by Lewis Galantiere<\/a>, running May 31 through June 27 at The Den Theatre.<\/p>\n \ud83c\udfad NEW! Chicago Theatre Newsletter<\/p>\n Originally written during the Nazi occupation of France, Anouilh\u2019s play reinterprets Sophocles\u2019 classical tragedy, centering on Antigone\u2019s refusal to obey a government decree in favor of her own moral convictions. Galantiere\u2019s adaptation translates the text into accessible English while highlighting the political parallels of its original context.<\/p>\n This modern dress production, set in a present-day environment, will be directed by Elaine Carlson<\/a>. Carlson said the themes of the play remain relevant, noting that the central conflict between conscience and expediency continues to resonate.<\/p>\n The cast will feature Heather Dennis as Antigone, Jared Dennis<\/a> as Creon, Meghann Tabor as Ismene, Joshua Servantez<\/a> as Haemon, Gunner Bradley as First Guard, Brendan Hutt<\/a> as Second Guard, and Christina Renee Jones<\/a> as the Chorus. Additional cast members include Marssie Mencotti<\/a>, Gavin Blayne, Anthony J. Harris, and Alex George<\/a>.<\/p>\n The design team includes scenic designer Trevor Dotson, Costume Designer<\/a> Rachel M. Sypniewski, sound designer Stefanie Senior, lighting designer RobbyMoe Reeves, violence and intimacy designer Maureen Yasko<\/a>, and props designer Tristan Brandon. The production team also includes assistant director Hayley Rice<\/a>, production manager Alexa Berkowitz, stage manager Esau Andaleon, and technical director Jeremiah Barr.<\/p>\n Performances will begin with previews on May 31 and June 1, with a press opening scheduled for June 3.
