Five great plays where no set or props are necessary

Age recommendation: 12+

Cast: 4f, 7m, chorus

Synopsis: King Creon promises that anyone who tries to bury Polynices will be punished. Antigone goes against her uncle's words and is caught trying to bury Polynices. Creon then orders Antigone to be buried alive in a cave, while his son Haemon (Antigone's fiancé) tries to persuade him not to kill her. Tiresias later appears and tells Creon it is too late to forgive Antigone, as she has killed herself and Haemon has done the same.

Why it's great: This play is a Greek tragedy, analysing individual freedom vs obedience to the state. Greek plays famously have a lot of action and deaths that occur off stage, which means Antigone provides ample opportunity to focus on character interaction, instead of set and props.
