Below. Antigone (Heidi Goldfein) calls Creon (Chad Hummel) a Loathsome Man. The theme of the 25th anniversary dramatic presentation was a challenge to both the actors and the audience. With Jean Anouilh’s modern adaptation of Sophocles’ tragedy, Antigone, the actors, the crews, and the audience were able to reexamine their lives and survey the bodies that govern them. In the play, Antigone defies a law that she believes to be unjust. Expecting fully to receive the death sentence promised for her defiance, she disobeys her uncle Creon and buries her brother’s body. The ensuing struggle between Antigone and Creon constitutes the action for much of the play. ANTIGONE A Greek chorus, similar to those formerly employed by Sophocles, was utilized to interpret the action for the audience. The chorus helped pose many questions within the minds of viewers. People were left to ponder the relationships of the laws of God and the laws of man and wonder if any person has the right to enforce an unjust law. The show presented November 13, 14 and 15 was staged and directed by Frank Plut and furthered the reputation of outstanding drama at Rob-binsdale. 20. Life

After having completed a successful run of the fall show Antigone, the play was cut from its original 1 VS? hour time to a thirty-five minute one act to be entered in region competition. Under the direction of Mr. Frank Plut, the show took first place in Region 6AA, and was advanced to the State One-Act Festival on the campus of the University of Minnesota. ANTIGONE ONE ACT At the state competition, Atingone competed against eight other shows from around the state and was awarded a unanimous three-star rating, the only play to receive that honor. Possibly the reason for the success of the show was. in the words of Plut, dedication and concentration on the part of every cast and crew member. The unique experience of having twelve people work together to achieve a common goal and having succeeded will be something long remembered by everyone involved with the production. Top. Crew: J.
