Greek Theatre

Oedipus and the Sphinx

 Scene One: The shepherd finds the baby


 The shepherd: Rania and Chaeyon
The sheep: Sophia, Anahit and Abdullah
The tree: Me (Zeina)

The shepherd finds a baby crying in-front of a tree and he had a swollen foot.

We used the big box as the bottom part of the tree and the small box as the crib for the baby.

I had to make wind noises and move my hands to make it as if the branches were moving/waving.



Scene Two: The shepherd takes the baby to the King and Queen of Corinth





The two Guards: Ahahit and me(Zeina)

The King of Corinth: Abdullah
The Queen of Corinth: Sophia
The Shepherd: Chaeyon and Rania


The shepherd decides to bring the baby to the king and queen of Corinth which they accept and name him "Oedipus" which means swollen foot.

We used two boxes as thrones for the king and queen, the small box as the crib for the baby and two sticks for the quards to use as their weapon or spear.

i had to stop the shepherd from coming in by making an X with the other guard with our spears so they wouldn't come in without us informing the king and queen.

  1. Well done Zeina this is great; I can clearly see that your group have responded very creatively to this task. You have explained the roles in each scene and described some of the actions your character used and why. You have also given each scene a context which is excellent. The images show me that your group have considered how to use space, levels and body language to communicate the story to the audience. 8/8 Criterion D
