Sacred Fools has long been among my favorite theater companies and its West Coast premiere of Antigone, Presented by the Girls of St. Catherine’s only confirms this critic’s longstanding admiration and affection for this imaginative enclave of theatrical envelop-pushers.

The ancient myth of Antigone - a young woman who suffered for heroically standing up to authority - has been oft-adapted by top talents for literally 2,500 years, starting with tragedies by both Sophocles and Euripides. The 20th century saw Antigone-related stage productions by dramatists Jean Cocteau, Jean Anouilh, Athol Fugard and Bertolt Brecht, as well as a ballet and opera by the great Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis (who composed memorable scores for Costa-Gavras films, including 1969’s Z, as well as 1964’s Zorba the Greek and 1973’s Serpico).

Just say no. It had such a quaint ring to it, hearkening back to a simpler time when some thought that binary choices – black and white – could be applied to substance use. In today’s political climate, no has switched to yes, as illustrated by a majority of presidential candidates who now support a spectrum of cannabis legalization policies. Some, though, like Mike Bloomberg, Joe Biden, Republicans and the Trump administration are stuck in another time. Their supposed concern? Research, or a perceived lack thereof.
