Antigone in Chicago: Reading Group

Antigone is the most popular Greek Tragedy in Chicago, recently performed at the Court Theatre, Northwestern's Writz Center, and the Athenaeum Center for Cultural Thought. In preparation for the panel discussion on 4/24, we will gather to discuss the play and its enduring popularity. We will reflect together on how this play can help us think about what we value, and discuss how you can choose a translation you enjoy. Light refreshments will be provided.

You can check out a copy of Antigone from your local CPL branch or read one of the many free translations available online. While we will conduct our discussion in English, please feel free to read the play in whatever language you choose.

Limited street parking is available. The 78 bus stop at Broadway and Sunnyside is the closest bus stop, and the 49 stops about a block away. The Western Brown Line stop is a 10-15 minute walk.

This event is supported by a public humanities grant from Northwestern's Kaplan Humanities Institute
