Description What would Hedda Gabbler say if she could text Antigone? It's true - the more things change the more they stay the same! Take six characters from classic plays, give them each a mobile and a laptop and let them loose on today's modern world. 2 b or nt 2 b takes characters from Shakespeare's Hamlet and Midsummer Night's Dream , Chekhov's Three Sisters and The Seagull, Sophocles' Antigone and Ibsen's Hedda Gabler. But has anything really changed for today's modern teens?
