Casting
--(it's a Wicked theme FYI)--
Antigone
"I did it. I don't deny a thing." (81; 492)
"Let the dead and the god of death bear witness! I have no love for a friend who loves in words alone." (87; 611-612)
"If I mock you, I get no pleasue from it. Only pain." (88; 621-622)
- I would cast Elphaba (from Wicked). She is very pretty, but also very strong. She has dark long thick hair. She is tall, not super skinny. Also she has a strong voice, not airy or too high. Because I think Antigone is strong, sometimes rash, ambitious, but also loving and
beautiful.

Ismene
"Tell me, dear one, What can I do to help you, even now?" (88; 623-624)
"Oh Antigone, you're so rash- I'm so afraid for you!" (63; 96)
"Keep it a secret. I'll join you in that, I promise." (63; 99)
- I would cast Glinda (from Wicked). She is very pretty and blond. She is also very feminine, and has a sweet protectiveness feeling about her. She is thin and has a sweet voice. Because Ismene is strong but also seems very feminine, there is more to her than being a woman and sister.

Creon
Fiero but more coming.......

Haemon
the Wizard! but more coming......

The chorus mostly narrates the story and is an all woman chorus. Here the chorus seems to sympathize with Medea, and there seems to be more connected to her as well. The chorus in Medea is different from the chorus in Oedipus because first; it is an all woman chorus, second; there seems to more interaction with the chorus in Medea than to Oedipus, though the chorus is interactive in both stories, but they seem to be really a part of the issues in Medea and more curious to what is going on in the story.
