Description From Source	Summary Program for the 1951 production of Antigone, performed at the Union Theatre, Melbourne University. The program is written in Greek and includes Lili Sigalas in the cast listing playing Eurydice. Directed by Nicos Dimitracopoulos, the play was a reworking of Sophocles’ ‘Antigone’ in modern Greek. A theatrical milestone, it was probably the first production of Greek tragedy in Greek in Victoria. Lili Sigalas had a minor part in the play, and was instrumental in organising the logistics of the production and was an active interpreter. Lili Sigalas had migrated to Australia in 1922 to marry Letho Sigalas. She and Letho moved in a very sociable set, composed of her own young Greek cousins. Lili also travelled abroad frequently, and was active in the Melbourne Greek community. Physical Description Foolscap size sheet of paper, typed with details of performances and cast.
