Antigone Journal 1

Stage directions:
I would have the steps off towards the back, with a black pond in front, the guards sitting near the pond, and Antigone sitting looking in. All other actors will be scattered on the steps, with the king at the bottom.
I will have 1 chorus, to keep it uniform and easier to understand.
I would have George Clooney play the king because I can imagine him in a place of royalty. I would have kristen stewart play Antigone because I think she looks always a bit sickly and that's how i imagine Antigone to be. I would have Blake Lively play Ismene.
Antigone would be wearing simple, plain dresses, no makeup, until she goes to see Haemon. She then dresses up in awkward clothes and over done makeup.
The Chorus will be wearing a black robe, to blend into the background.
The nurse will be wearing a cap and night gown in the first scene.
Creon will be dressed in a long purple robe, with gold rings and chains.
The only props i will need is the castle, the cave, the shovel and dead body
