Oedipus

This production maintained the elements of original Greek tragedy in 3 ways:

1. The Costumes
• Although they didn't have actual masks the tragedy did use the same people, from the chorus, to play different roles by just changing their costumes. 
• This allowed members of the chorus who were peasants to turn their covers inside out and remove their head pieces and become royalty or a prophet or a seer. 
• They were not all wearing the cothurni but in semblance they were all wearing earth-coloured long-sleeved smocks which allowed them to easily switch roles
  
2. The Chorus
• The chorus sang many of their lines to only the claranet, a drum and the beat of their sticks. Although the music has been lost from original Greek tragedy they used music in their performance just as they used to.
• Just as with the singing the chorus also danced during their songs. The choreography was simple yet also provided some catharsis for the audience.
• Just as in original Greek tragedy the chorus spoke their lines together.
3. The Set
• As with original Greek tragedy where the set remained the same the entire performance as it all took place in one day and in the same place. 
• Although it was not performed in a perfectly constructed amphitheater the actors still wore no microphones and spoke loud so the audience could hear.
