A modern retelling of Sophocles‘s Antigone by a street theater company right under my windows.

Do plays count?
🎭 Antigone by Sophocles - ca. 440BC
Does part of the Latin Bible count?
📔Vulgate - ca. 4th century AD
Other than that 🤔
Probably a Medieval book on either religion or medicine I needed to read for my studies in History. At a guess ca. 12th/13th century AD.
pickI was surprised at how much I liked this one given that I‘m only vaguely familiar with Antigone.
pickThis Greek myth retelling packs a punch for something so short. I actually found one part particularly just punched me in the gut. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
so-soA feminist, dystopian, sf retelling of Antigone.
A very cool idea. Execution—a tad disappointing.
Too many POVs for this tiny thing to carry—that's what watered down its emotional punch. Also, the lack of the knowledge of the Antigone's story could decrease the enjoyment by half, or—alternatively—knowing the original well could do it a similar disservice, as it follows the original plot closely.
3/5
so-so2nd month in a row that I start off with a meh book. If it wasn‘t so short I probably would have dropped it.
It‘s a futuristic retelling of the Sophocles play Antigone. Perhaps I would have enjoyed this more if I‘d read the play first. 🤷🏻♀️
On the bright side, it does complete a challenge prompt and it has inspired me to had the play to my TBR mountain.
