Summary
Invitation for the production of Antigone at the Union Theatre, Melbourne University, 31 March 1951. Directed by Nicos Dimitracopoulos, the play was a reworking of Sophocles' 'Antigone' in modern Greek. A theatrical milestone, it was probably the first production of Greek tragedy in Greek in Victoria. Lili Sigalas had a minor part in the play, and was instrumental in organising the logistics of the production and was an active interpreter. Nicos Dimitracopoulos was director of the Athens National Theatre.
Physical Description
