The Nurse Antigone presents virtual performance

Nurses are invited to view the finale of The Nurse Antigone, to be shown on a streaming platform on May 18 from 7:00-9:00 p.m. ET. A groundbreaking project by and for nurses, The Nurse Antigone presents dramatic readings of Sophocles’ Antigone ─ featuring professional actors and a chorus of front-line nurses ─ to help frame powerful, guided discussions about the past, present and future of nursing. 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 crises. The Nurse Antigone aims to generate compassion, awareness, connection and healing, while celebrating and advocating for nurses at this critical juncture in the history of the profession.
