How many actors performed in 'Antigone'?

Answer 1

About 18 to 23 actors perform in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, 12 actors are needed for the chorus of Theban elders. Another six to eleven actors interpret the non-choral cast of characters. With masks, six actors may take on eleven parts. Without masks, eleven actors are needed to play Antigone, Creon, Eurydice, Haemon, Ismene, the messenger, royal attendants, and Teiresias the blind prophet and his boy escort.
