Can this please be made available for purchase! It is hard for teachers to find a good copy of the play to show our students!

[@HalehJune]

We teachers would love to teach our classes with your fine productions. There is so much there to teach from. How can we get a hold of them????? Please and thank you.

Even more, they are still the basement blocks of the culture of the West. Antigona's fight against the state still resonates with everyone who've gone through and endured these times of top-down collectivism.
