Old Greek Tragedy, Antigone, Offered By Laetare Players The Laetare Players will present the play Antigone, on Sunday, Feb. 14, and Monday, Feb. 15, at 7:30 p.m. in the college auditorium. THE PRODUCTION is an adapta tion by Lewis Galantiere from the play revised by Jean Anouilh and based on the original Greek tragedy by Sopho cles. The story involves two sons and two daughters of mother-loving Oedi pus, lately departed king of Thebes, and his brother-in-law, Creon, who has now become king. The two brothers have had a civil war and have killed each other. Creon has ordained that one of the brothers be left unburied carrion for the dogs and vultures. Antigone, a sister, defies this order of Creon and heaps earth upon the dishonored corpse. She is caught, and as is always the case with martyrs, her revolt bears fruit only after her death. The role of Antigone will be played on succeeding nights by Brigid Duffy and Judy Harris. The Chorus, serving as a character who introduces us to the action of the play, will be portrayed by Mary Ann Fogarty and Patricia Done gan. The part of the Nurse will be played by Arlene Arnone and Marsha Bulaw; Antigone's sister will star Barbara Porter and Vinetta Gaeloski. THIS FASCINATING play is espe cially interesting since it will be por trayed in modern dress.
