Antigone’s designers in Ferguson hoped to attract individuals who would not normally attend a presentation of a Greek drama because most people nowadays are uninterested in such plays. As a result, they needed to figure out how to reach a larger audience.

People from the police force were also involved in the development and debate of this rendition of Antigone. I believe they did this to demonstrate how the law applied to the circumstance.

Watching Antigone in Ferguson  does not change my view of the original play. I think  Antigone in Ferguson is one of those plays that demonstrates how stories can be adapted to fit into various historical periods and even contemporary settings.
