Theatre Group Brings Greek Tragedy “Antigone” into The Future
BY MELANIE CRAWFORD
A&E Editor
A
ntigone, the great Greek
tragedy, may never be the
same after Impact Theatre is
done with it!
Impact, never a theatre to
produce traditional offerings,
has outdone itself with its latest production.
Entitled “See How We Are,”
the show takes place in the future. One is immediately reminded of the television shows
“Battlestar
Gallactica”
and
“Star Trek.” All the characters

in the play are dressed in stark
white costumes, and the set is
completely white as well. Even
the flowers that are brought to
the home of the Bank family are
completely white. One character
wears a “Star Wars” storm trooper helmet, and several characters
carry futuristic-looking white
guns, adding to the innovative
look of the set design.
This world-premiere play, written and directed by Jon Tracy,
takes a new look at a family’s
infighting and inability to decide
who will rule their country after their father’s death. The two

brothers (played by Seth Thygesen and Ryan Tasker) finally
decide to take turns, but in the
end both die. NOTE: Be prepared
for some bloody scenes! Both
brothers end up quite bloodspattered by the end.
Kendra Oberhauser gives a
tour-de-force performance as
Ari, the rebellious sister. She
uses expression both on her
face and in her voice to do an
outstanding job. Sarah Mitchell,
as her sister, gives an angstfilled performance as well. Thygesen and Tasker do a creditable job making the audience
believe they are truly brothers
who stick together to the end.
If you are a science fiction
or fantasy fan, this is truly the
play for you. “See How We Are”
plays Thursday-Saturday at 8
p.m., through October 17 at Impact Theatre in Berkeley. Tickets can be bought online at ]
