Antigone in New York by Janusz Glowacki

Full Length, Dark comedy / Casting: 3m, 1f / Scenery: Exterior Selected by TIME Magazine as one of the ten best plays of the year, Antigone in New York concerns a homeless Puerto Rican woman who wants to steal the body of her lover from Potter's Field and bury it in a city park. She and her accomplices, two homeless Eastern European refugees, end up with the wrong body and a myriad of problems. "Witty and acerbic." TIME Magazine "As comic as it is devastating, this dark, giddy play derives its power from the sinister fusion of impossibility with truth." Time Out "Hilarious." N.Y. Times

When martial law was established in Poland in December 1981, Janusz Glowacki was attending the London premiere of Cinders. He made the decision not to return and relocated to New York with his family. Glowacki is a playwright, screenwriter, novelist, and essayist who has written six plays, six screenplays, and ten novels, including Give Us This Day (1985). He has received a Guggenheim Fellowship and a Playwriting Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts.
