The Burial at Thebes
- By Seamus Heaney
- Directed by Traven Rice
You're Either With Us or Against Us
There are many translations of Antigone but few with the understated power and spare beauty of Irish Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney’s version. He has given the play a new title, but remains faithful to the spirit of Antigone as he finds words to make this classic story of conflict between an inflexible autocrat and a young family rebel familiar to modern audiences. Award winning, New York Director Traven Rice, reveals the raw, primal power of Greek prose making it impossible not to think of the ongoing war in Iraq.
