Learning on ScreenAntigone by Sophokles
- Synopsis
- Using a modern translation of ‘Antigone’ by Michael Ewans for the ‘Everyman Classics’ series, the production is designed to explore the ways in which Sophocles originally staged his drama. Performed in a replica of the Greek theatre shape, this staging respects and re-creates the original conventions of ancient Anthenian staging and performance, but it is set in Sarajevo, Bosnia, in 1994 and performed in modern dress by students from the Departments of Drama and Classics at the University of Newcastle, Australia, under the direction of Michael Ewans, with an introduction and afterword by the director/translator.
