Adaptations for a War-Torn Time
|
Polarity Ensemble Theatre Books is pleased to announce its first release: Antigone and Macbeth: Adaptations for a War-Torn Time. Both plays in the collection respond strongly to the current political situation. Playwright Richard Engling adapted and directed Absolute Macbeth in a critically-acclaimed ritual production designed to “purge the tyrant” from our society. Engling and directors Ann Keen and Zack Brenner have collaborated for two years on the script of Antigone. Though they see the political landscape from different points of view, they all wanted to bring out the inevitability of war when societies demonize one another and reserve righteousness for themselves. Antigone and Macbeth: Adaptations for a War-Torn Time Paperback: 196 pages Publisher: Polarity Ensemble Theatre (February 2006) Language: English ISBN: 0977661008 Product Dimensions: 8.0 x 5.0 x 0.5 inches Shipping Weight: 7.7 ounces.
