The Nurse Antigone
May 18, 2023 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
A groundbreaking project by and for nurses, The Nurse Antigone presents dramatic readings of Sophocles’ Antigone on Zoom – featuring professional actors and a chorus of frontline nurses – to help frame powerful, guided discussions about the past, present, and future of nursing. Antigone, an ancient play about a young woman who puts everything on the line to do what she believes is right, dramatizes the heavy cost of silencing and marginalizing caregivers, especially during times of crisis. By performing Sophocles’ play for diverse audiences, including nurses as well as concerned citizens, The Nurse Antigone aims to generate compassion, awareness, connection, and much-needed healing, while celebrating and advocating for nurses at this critical juncture in the history of their profession.
This finale presentation of The Nurse Antigone will be broadcast live and in-person from The Greene Space in New York City. Learn more.
