National Theatre at Home has added Tony Kushner’s multi-award-winning Angels in America: Parts 1 and 2 and other great productions to its streaming service.
If your view of Greek tragedy is that it should be interminable, histrionic, lyrical, grand and unfathomably disturbing, then this Antigone is not for you. But if you are open to the possibility that Greek tragedy can tap into the fears and troubles of any generation, then this is an irresistible production, compelling and disturbing.
