The New Antigone(s) is a well-rounded composition of the Antigone mythology, each work uncovering a different piece of the Antigone puzzle.

These images of knights and their ladies mark a time when England was transitioning from a medieval, feudal culture to Renaissance humanism. They give us insight into individuals from that time; their customs, traditions and beliefs.
Please join us in the gallery for an opening reception, Tuesday, November 3, 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. with theatrical readings presented by the English and Theatre Arts departments.
