Commissioned to mark the centenary of the Abbey Theatre in Dublin
in 2004, The Burial at Thebes is Seamus Heaney's new verse
translation of Sophocles' great tragedy, Antigone - whose eponymous
heroine is one of the most sharply individualized and compelling
figures in Western drama. Faithful to the play's time and place,
The Burial at Thebes represents opposing voices as they enact the
ancient conflict between family and state in a time of crisis,
pitching the morality of private allegiance against that of public
service. Above all, The Burial at Thebes honours the sovereign
urgency and grandeur of the Antigone, in which language speaks
truth to power, then and now.
