Antigone, which hit Indian Trail’s stage in early March, is a Greek tragedy translated by Sophocles in 441 B.C. The theater’s latest project, directed by Bob Allen, is a one- act show that runs from 50-70 minutes.
Indian Trail’s version of the play features a war torn town right around the time of World War II. The script Indian Trail is using is not in modern English which can make it hard for some of the audience to understand what is going on. That is why the play has a Greek chorus to explain what is going on in the play and why.
The two lead roles are Creon and Antigone who are played by Bradford junior Colin Hervat and Indian Trail senior Jessica Greenhoe.
This is a black box show, which means that the audience sits on the stage and has a more intimate feeling with the actors. Overall the play ran smoothly and the acting was above average. The lights were probably the best part of the show and the set was a resurfaced set, used for the KUSD production of Catch Me If You Can. It was a well-done show that everyone worked really hard to accomplish. I give it 3 stars.
