Antigone Production Concept

Antigone Production Concept Worksheet

Help students develop a coherent and fully realised production concept for Sophocles’ Antigone with this structured planning worksheet. Designed primarily for AQA A Level Drama and Theatre (7262), it is equally suitable for other examination specifications that require students to create and justify directorial or design concepts.

The worksheet encourages students to think like theatre makers, moving beyond isolated design ideas to develop a unified artistic vision. It prompts them to consider:

• The central message they want their audience to understand
• The key questions their production will explore
• The emotional impact they want the audience to leave with
• Set design, including significant changes throughout the performance
• Three detailed costume concepts with contextual justification and audience impact
• Important moments from the Prologue, Episodes and Exodus, linked to quotations and production choices
• Contextual influences that support their interpretation

Ideal for:

• Introducing a new production concept
• Revision lessons before practical or written examinations
• Homework or independent study
• Small group discussions and collaborative planning
• Supporting written responses on directing and design

Although created with Antigone in mind, the structure can easily be adapted for other classical or contemporary texts, making it a versatile resource for Drama and Theatre courses across a range of specifications.

Suitable for: AQA A Level Drama and Theatre (7262), Edexcel, OCR, Eduqas, WJEC and other equivalent qualifications.
