I realize that this will make some people uncomfortable, but the Sophocles’s play Antigone is itself about politics and gender roles, and the Anne Carson translation that the director is using is even more focused on these issues, this post modernist take on it is relevant.
Though if you are planning to make you dick happy and you have a problem with queer cultureyou might want to look somewhere else.

Where did you get this info? I saw the casting call seeking "Female, Gender Non-Conforming, Non-Binary, Trans-Female" actors, which I took to mean they were accepting actors who identified as any of those genders. It looked like the Oracle role was only role open to just non-binary/trans actors.
