ABOUT THE SHOW
Join the circle as the Three Fates wind the strands of their own immortal lives into ours while they re-generate and distill one of the world's legends. This is not the Greek tragedy you read in school but a pre-historical/hysterical, paradoxical/paroxysmal celebration of storytelling that asks the musical question, "What is more weird than man... or woman?"
Not at all the story of Sophocles' Antigone, but a kaleidoscopic exploration of its themes interpreted through the delirious scribblings of the Three Fates (yes, those Three Fates) under the interfering eye of a character known as "The Shriek Operator", this mind-bending musing, this devilish dreamland will electrify even your jaded mind.

ABOUT THE COMPANY
www.womanswill.org
Woman's Will, the Bay Area's all-female Shakespeare company, exists to provide opportunities for women and girls to work together in a supportive yet challenging environment, to entertain and educate through high quality classes and performances, and to expand the boundaries in which audiences and artists see themselves. Woman's Will is a multi-ethnic company that operates under a strict policy of non-discrimination and strives for triple accessibility at every event: all people must be able to reach our events, afford our events, and relate to our events. Finally, and most importantly, we love our work, and it shows. Our actor- and text-based productions are both intelligent and visceral, yet clearly told so even the youngest members of your family can join in the fun. Relax with a picnic and some friends, and let us show you what wonders arise under the influence of a Woman's Will.
