I think the placing of the characters on the steps are good, but i would make large huge block steps for each character to stand on, such as Antigone at the top, i think this would symbolize her on her way towards talking to the king and being a strong willful character. I would also take Antigones costume into great consideration. I would make her costume a symbol for her strong character and make it stand out above the others, but at the same time make it plain and lifeless to stand for her fate to death because of her name. I would make it a high class type look, but make it gray for death and white and gold to symbolize power, high class and youth.
Ismene would be standing with young men, on a higher point, almost like a pedestal in the back, but still close to the ground. She would be wearing rose red to symbolize beauty. As for the man she is talking to, Haemon, will be standing on a slightly higher pedestal also in the back, wearing purple to symbolize wealth and royalty.
The Chorus should be two people, because one person at times seems to repeat the other such as "She is thinking. She is thinking that the instant[...] (3). This makes me think that one person, maybe a main chorus speaker is speaking then the other cuts in to complete the message, almost to add an emphasis on certain points in the performance, or to add in new details that the reader or observer should know or take into consideration. I kept reading it like one person would read the beginning or a sentence then a pause then switch off every time there was a coma.
