The messenger will look up suddenly, seeming to snap out of their tangent. They will look at one audience member and stare at them directly before delivering the final line. The chorus and the messenger then hear the bang of the door shutting, and the messenger turns both ways to see that Eurydice had left. He looks to the chorus in confusion.

At this line, Eurydice drops her head, turns around, and leaves the room. She moves slowly, almost wandering out of the room. The chorus watches her with a confused face as the messenger finishes his monologue. He does not notice her leaving until he hears the door bang shut.

The messenger steps towards Eurydice and keeps his eyes cast down. He speaks with utmost seriousness.

She is addressing the audience when she says this. She is dressed in a white peplos. Eurydice is very grave, and possibly difficult to hear from the audience. Often when she is speaking she will look far off into the distance, almost as if she is not concentrating on the room.

Eurydice had entered quietly through the center door and was slowly making her way to the center of the stage as the chorus had broken to react to the news of the messenger. She is now in the center of the stage and down.

They do not address the messenger when they say this, rather they turn towards each other to grunt this angrily.

Begin here. The chorus will stand on stage right, facing the messenger, who is standing on stage left. Everyone is far down on the stage, but they leave room in the center for the door behind them.

The messenger, a younger man, would be wearing a tunic with a shorter hem to allow for easier travel.

The chorus is a group of older men. They are dressed in chitons, or white tunic style dress many ancient greek men wore during the period Antigone was written during.
