MLC One-Acts: A Story in Every Breath
Consider for a moment that every breath you take in contains words spoken by someone else. The words of someone else’s story. This year’s pair of one-acts tells two such stories in “Booby Trap” and “Antigone Now.”
In Ed Monk’s “Booby Trap,” an American soldier sits in a combat zone sometime in the near future, trapped by a land mine. As he waits to see what will happen to him, scenes from his past, present, and future unfold around him.
In the midst of a bombed-out city still feeling the aftershocks of war, the rebellious and intense Antigone defies her uncle to bury her disgraced brother. Melissa Cooper’s “Antigone Now,” a contemporary response to Sophocles’ original myth, brings powerful, modern prose to this ancient and universal story.
We hope you will join us to experience A Story in Every Breath.
