Theatre in the Round Players presents the area premiere of THE BURIAL AT THEBES by Seamus Heaney

Theatre in the Round Players presents the area premiere of The Burial at Thebes in weekend performances February 12th through March 7th. Irish poet and Nobel Prize winning author Seamus Heaney wrote this new adaptation of the Greek tragedy Antigone. When Creon, the king, refuses to bury her traitorous brother, Antigone defies him and takes the law into her own hands. This short but powerful staging features a striking version of a wise Chorus, and vivid, poetic writing.
