THE STAGE

Antigone is Jean Anouilh's freestyle adaptation of Sophocles's play about the conflict between public and private responsibilities. Unlike some modernizations of Greek tragedy, this one says more than "Gee, the Classics are relevant" and doesn't cheapen or oversimplify the original. At the Ex, Thurs., Fri. and Sat. at 7:30 p.m.

Bye, Bye Birdie is a good musical about a ridiculous subject: Conrad Birdie's farewell to his fans before being drafted. It'll be reviewed on these pages tomorrow. At Mather House tonight, tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday at 8:15 p.m. Tickets $2.

Amen Corner is some of James Baldwin's best writing, and it's being given a good production at The Loeb tonight, tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday at 8 p.m. Tickets $3.50.

Fiorello is reviewed on page 2.
