I can't say much

I found the acting in Anitgone uniquely entertaining. The cast was small, and their voices echo as they traverse the sparse, multi-cornered, arena set. It feels unusual for me, as I play a character in Antigone, to write a review on acting, seeing that I did not get a chance to see the play.
What I can say is, all the actors in this production did their best to prepare for their individual roles.
I agree that the set was different and at times the actors had a vis-à-vis encounter, ergo leaving their backs facing towards the audience. But one must realize that this is an arena setting, and at times the actors back will face the audience. With that in mind I conclude that with the given stage, the actors made great efforts to make moving on stage natural.
Patrick Ford (Creon) was immaculate in performing the anger towards Antigone’s (Heather Harlen) defiance. On the other had we saw a softer side of Creon, when he tried convincing Hamon (Tim), his son, that there was nothing he could have done to save Antigone, Hamon’s lover.
Heather was beautiful in performing the intelligence and sorrow of Antigone. Through her performance we saw the courageous steps Antigone took for the love of her brother.
The same is said for all the cast. All of them gave their best to portray our director's (Rick Zimmer) vision of Antigone.
