Tough script, left wanting.

I saw tonight's final dress that was invite so that may be part of this review.
I found the script challenging, at moments it seems very true to the original Antigone in its language and then on a dime will turn into modern language. This was jarring to me and from what I observed left the actors in a place where to play large and full (as the original greek version would dictate) would be to look foolish when they suddenly spoke in sentences that we would use with each other. And so I found many of the moments underwhelming, as if in the beginning of the show a sense the sense of intensity was hesitant. I wanted more, I wanted bigger, larger things at stake.
The show was not without merit obviously, the pacing is good and at 75 minutes the story so condensed as to be left with only the most pertinent and important pieces of it. The set and space were well utilized and the inner circle of action, where debate often happened, never felt overused or stagnant.
My favorite moment was Linda Sue Anderson's portrayal of the blind prophet Tiresius (spelling ? as I don't have the script or program in front of me). Linda commanded the stage with her decree of death and destruction and it was a pleasure to watch.
Overall, I'd recommend seeing this show as it is great exposure to the greek myth for those with a short attention span.
