Burial at Thebes

Heaney's translation of Sophocles' ANTIGONE, commissioned by Ireland's Abbey Theatre to commemorate its centennial, exposes the darkness and the humanity in the Greek masterpiece, inking it with Heaney's own modern and masterly touch. BURIAL AT THEBES stands as a timely exploration of the conflict between those who affirm the individual's human rights and those who must protect the state's security. Senior directing major Kylie Ferguson helms this capstone production.
