I knew that the actors spoke Greed with English subtitles, so that was expected. The sets were adequate, if uninspiring. But the acting seemed pretty stilted, and the make-up was amateurish, especially all the fake beards and wigs. A far better version of Antigone was produced by the BBC for use in academic environments, and so carries a large institutional price tag: about 200 USD. It can be found on YouTube, but it was loaded in 9-minute segments. I obtained a VHS copy on eBay for about 25 USD. The acting is superb, and although the set design is simple, it is majestic, and works very well for this play.

Yet another triumph for Irene Papas! She as Antigone and Manos Katrakis in the role of Creon carry Antigone's sad yet triumphant story forward with both majesty and honesty. George Tzavellas directed this 1961 work and much to his credit it is. There are no lulls, no empty moments - even the silences speak.
