Stage Layout
The stage will have Creon’s house right in the middle. His house will be grand and detailed. Most of the scenes are going to take place outside of his house, with some taking place inside. The stage will be dark except for the center and thrust which will have spot lights. The crew will then put the appropriate props on stage. On the right of the stage will be a graveyard where everyone is buried. This is where Antigone will bury her brother but his grave will be noticeably off to the side from the rest. The grave yard will be full of shrubbery and undergrowth giving it an earthy and old feel. In front of the graveyard will be a tree and a bench for decor to make the stage more interesting and beautiful. The tree can be green or flowering and the bench will be made of stone with plenty of details. On the left side of the stage there will be a cave. The cave is more for show and acts as a visual aid for the audience. The cast will enter the cave when stated in the play but will not come back out if they are supposed to die in it. In front of the cave is a statue of Creon. At the beginning the statue is complete and standing strong. While the play progresses it will slowly crumb until it is finally rubble at the end. This represents the fall of Creon. At the end of the play, the statue will be destroyed, Creon will be weeping in his house, and a statue of Antigone will rise up from beneath the floor in the middle of the stage in front of Creon's house with flowers surrounding it in memory of Antigone.
