Associate professor Fabio Polanco plays an aide to Creon in "Antigone," an epic tragedy reimagined. Freely adapted by Emily Mann from the play by Sophocles and directed by Lauren Keating, this high-stakes, timeless tale burns with contemporary relevance, as age and youth clash over the future of their country.
Polanco shares insight in the article "Fabio Polanco sees role in 'Antigone' through lens of last two years" in the Akron Beacon Journal:
"We were really thrilled that the Play House made the the decision to revisit this production. We had done a lot of work," Polanco, 50, said in a phone interview Feb. 25. "It's been really wonderful to come back to it, restart, but still I think there's a foundation there as well that we brought with us."
Cleveland Play House’s 2020 production of "Antigone" was in its second week of rehearsal when it had to be cancelled due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Cleveland Play House is pleased to bring this production back to the stage for the 2021-2022 season.
"Antigone" continues through March 27, 2022. For tickets, see or call 216-241-6000.
