Abingdon Theatre Company presents Maybe Tomorrow
March 15 - April 6, 2025

The face of a white woman with brown hair pulled back looks toward the viewer with one eye covered by the hand of someone out of frame. Yellow words on the right side of the frame over the hand say Abingdon Theatre Company, Maybe Tomorrow, Written by Max Mondi, Directed by Chad Austin, An untold story, an unimaginable circumstance, a brave new play. Based on real events.

Max Mondi - Playwright
Chad Austin - Director

In the gripping play, Maybe Tomorrow, Gail and Ben’s nearly ten year relationship appears to be thriving: a new job, a new city, and a baby boy on the way. But as the challenges of reality come to light, they must navigate the complexities of a relationship tested by time.

In desperate need of a break, Gail retreats to her pause room; the bathroom of their mobile home. As the outside world slowly slips away from her, we are left to wonder: was it ever there to begin with?

Anti-Gone俺抬杠?! reimagines Sophocles’ Antigone in a rural Chinese village during the 1980s, where Antigone’s family is haunted by the legacy of the Cultural Revolution. The feud between Antigone’s brothers over the rightful ownership of the house and the ethos of the revolution, carries on after their death; whereas Antigone defies all traditions and refuses to pay tribute to her dead brother for his acts against the family. Her rejection of Confucian “natural laws” transforms her into a vilified figure—the new “Creon” of her family—haunted by the land’s spirits.

The play employs a mix of absurdist humor and surrealism to explore the tensions between tradition and revolution, as well as their intertwined impacts. Antigone is both traumatized by the extreme leftist ideologies of the Cultural Revolution and oppressed by the very traditions those ideologies sought to dismantle. In the end, no remedies are offered to the generations that follow, only a skewed memory of the past—a nightmare vaguely remembered from childhood.

This production is a Western story told in a Chinese world; it is a Chinese response to a Western existential question. Through the lens of Western tragic aesthetics, it becomes a matter of life and death, where the individual must choose between sacrificing their life or an essential part of themselves. Yet, from the perspective of Chinese villagers, it is merely another piece of quotidian suffering that life entails—a reminder that the joke often falls on those who take life too seriously.
