‘Amm(i)gone’ at Woolly Mammoth review: Translating Sophocles into Urdu with your mother

The age-old classic “Antigone” is rich with moral dilemmas, as the titular character nobly faces the prospect of death to do what she believes is right: honor her brother with a proper burial. But as Adil Mansoor deftly points out in his one-man show ‘Amm(i)gone’, Now that you’re playing at Woolly Mammoth, the why behind that decision is just as important as whether you would make the same choice. He would bury his brother, and his mother too. But they did it for different reasons: she out of concern for a loved one, and he out of an abstract sense of social justice.
