A groundbreaking project by and for nurses, the Nurse Antigone presents dramatic readings of Sophocles’ Antigone on Zoom – featuring professional actors and a chorus of frontline nurses – to help frame powerful, guided discussions about the unique challenges faced by nurses. Antigone, an ancient play about a young woman who puts everything on the line to do what she believes is right, dramatizes the heavy cost of silencing and marginalizing caregivers, especially during times of crisis. By performing Sophocles’ play for diverse audiences, including nurses as well as concerned citizens, the Nurse Antigone aims to generate compassion, awareness, connection, and much-needed healing, while celebrating and advocating for nurses at this critical juncture in the history of their profession.
Co-hosted by the Greater Raleigh Area Chapter and the Greater Richmond Area Chapter of the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses.
Translated, directed, and facilitated by Bruan Doerries.
