The chorus of three women were made as non-naturalistic as possible, their angular and at times feral movements, with the striking make-up complemented their unison speaking and singing of all choral lines (including those often assigned to a Chorus Leader).
The role divisions in the play were assigned as follows: one actor played Iolaus and Eurystheus; a second actor played Copreus, Macaria, and Alc mene; the third played Demophon, the Servant and the Messenger.
All three can be seen here in their initial incarnations: Demophon, Copreus, and Iolaus, with the Chorus.

 Didaskalia - Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
One key directorial choice is the fragmentation of the original chorus into an intellectual component and a lyrical dimension, while keeping the visual focus on the young, mute refugees part of the original script.
Brooke Stanton's costume design is uniformly contemporary with Iolaus, Copreus and Demophon in politico formalwear, Macaria in jeans, t-shirt and platform boots, and Alcmene in a dark, shapeless burka, timeless in its evocation of the Middle East.
At first pleading and suppliant, Triska proves both a logical, feisty and effective opponent for Copreus, a doting grandfather for Macaria and a self-sacrificing optimist ready to fight for his freedom.

He called and called again, sounding more like an old shrew than a king, and when the herald was finally found and appeared before him he was ordered to go straight to Heracles and convey the command of the "mighty king of Mycenae": to hunt down and kill the Nemean lion.

Although the name Copreus creates an active mind and a restless urge to explore new ideas, we emphasize that it limits self-expression and friendly congeniality with a moody disposition.
This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses in the solar plexus, heart, lungs and bronchial area.
The name of Copreus creates an overly-sensitive nature which causes you to sense and feel far more than you can understand or put into words.

The two sons, played by Kevin Koppman-Gue and Caleb Sharp, are being protected by Heracles’ old right-hand man, Iolaos (Jack Banning).
When the messenger/bounty hunter from Argos, Copreus (John Padilla), confronts them in the temple, the King of Athens (Rhys Greene) must decide whether to do the moral thing and risk a war with Argos that could destroy his city and cause a revolt among Athenians, or turn over the children to their would-be executioner.
When he chooses to protect the children, another dilemma soon arises when an oracle determines that the gods require a child sacrifice in order for Athens to win the war.
