Description

Directed by Sofia Hernandez

 

“Somebody, after all, had to make a start. What we wrote and said is also believed by many others. They just don't dare express themselves as we did.” – Sophie Scholl 

 

Sophie Scholl was a member of the White Rose Society in Nazi Germany which encouraged passive resistance against the totalitarian government. Antigone in Munich chronicles her coming of age and development from bystander to witness to activist. This student-directed production by playwright Claudia Haas was inspired by Sophocles' Greek tragedy Antigone which asks “What do you do when the laws of man contradict the laws of God?” 

 

September 13, 14 at 7:30 p.m. & September 15 at 2:30 p.m. in the Black Box Theatre (University Theatre).
