A modern adaptation of Antigone, this Milwaukee Premiere opened at Steppenwolf in November 2016. The Burials follows Sophie, a valedictorian millennial who’s life is shattered when her brother goes on a high school shooting rampage. Thrust into the national spotlight, Sophie finds herself torn between preserving her brother’s memory against his abject vilification in the media, and preventing her father (a republican senator) from using the rampage for his own political ends.
