• The setting of the Antigone, as in the case of
  most Greek tragedies, does not require a change
  of scene. Throughout the play the skene with at
  least one door represents the facade of the royal
  palace of Thebes. Even when the poet shifts the
  audience's attention to events in the plain and
  the cave in which Antigone was entombed, there is
  no shift of scene. These events are reported by
  minor characters (here, a guard and a character
  specifically called a messenger) rather than
  enacted before the audience (245-2771192-1243).1
  Interior action is also reported by a messenger
  to characters on-stage for the benefit of the
  audience. The suicide of Eurydice, which takes
  place inside the palace, is reported to Creon
  (and to the audience) by a second messenger
  (1279-1318).2 The messenger speech eliminates the
  need for scene changes, which, due to the limited
  resources of the ancient theater, would have been
  difficult and awkward. Sophocles, like Aeschylus
  and Euripides, made a virtue of the necessity of
  this convention of the ancient theater by writing
  elaborate messenger speeches which provide a
  vivid word picture of the offstage action.
• 1The numbers are references to lines in the
  Antigone. All quotations from the Antigone are
  translated by the author.2During the report of
  this messenger the body of Eurydice probably was
  displayed on the ekkyklema (1295).

  for audience of what occurred off stage
• Sophocles had no way of changing scene in ancient
  theater
• Limited resources

• awkward
