Performers Needed for "Antigone The Play"

Daughter of Oedipus, engaged to marry Haemon. Honorable, brave, loyal, loving, compassionate, and unwilling to compromise her values. She is the epitome of strength in conviction. Willing to die for her beliefs.

Daughter of Oedipus, sister of Antigone. She is devoted and honorable, but much more pragmatic than her sister. She believes in living to fight another day.

Son of Oedipus, brother of Antigone, Ismene, and Eteokles. He and his brother were supposed to share the rule of Thebes but his brother has usurped the throne. Polynices is seeking justice for having been so wronged and amasses an army to retake what is rightly his. Doubles as lead member of the chorus.

Eteokles is the son of Oedipus, younger brother of Polyneices (and older brother of Antigone and Ismene). Eteokles is overly confident and sure of himself.

He chooses to die with his love rather than side with his father in order to retain the crown.

Oedipus is a disgraced former king who has blinded himself and is living in exile. Tiresias is a blind prophet, loyal, wise, the voice of reason.

Theseus is the King of Athens, brave, honorable, and true to his word. He gives protection to Oedipus. The Scout and sentry are soldiers.

Loyal servants first of Theseus and then of Creon.
