What themes in the play are important to you? Why? How does it resonate with you today? How is the play relevant? This requires deep analysis of the play. Be SPECIFIC about the choices you make. You must use examples from the text to support your statements.
Identify the core theme you want to explore and why.
You must investigate two characters in detail and how you interpret them for your production.
How does the Chorus function in your interpretation?
Address your setting: You may choose any time period, other than when the play was originally written (so no Ancient Greece) for your interpretation. Discuss the parallels you found in that period to Antigone's struggle. Include a description of the new location and time period. What is happening in the world and that location at that time period: the given circumstances. How do the politics of the time enhance the themes of the play?
Address any design elements that you see in your show (sets. light, costume, sound, music). Antigone in Ferguson's chorus sang new songs. Will you use music?
