• I think it was important for the creators to attract those who would normally not attend a Greek play as they wanted to really showcase their work and how it is different from a regular Greek play. They have included aspects of modern day violence into the play, therefore it’s important that people of all backgrounds see it, as it’s not the regular play with petty problems from back then.
  • They included people from the police force to really show how their play is different. Including the police force would be the easiest way to address to the audience that this is a play dealing with modern day issues.
  • Watching this play did not change my views on the original play. I think both had their respected issues, with the original play dealing with an issue that is of their times. I find that Antigone in Ferguson is a wonderful adaptation that encompasses the issues many people face today.
