Esteemed Thespians (for that is what you are):
Read a third or so of Oedipus, so that you come to the stage with at least a third of the awareness a traditional Greek audience (we won't even mention the players) would have in launching the drama.
Mark any notable examples therein of dramatic irony—the kind that creates its own variety of suspense, or might excite an apt audience to fear and pity. Be prepared to point such things out, even if it means stopping the show.
And remember: the closer you hug the walls of the room, the more I'll be inclined to drop a major role on you. As they (probably) say at Intel & Nike—be a team player.
Yours,
J.D.
