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.

Aeschylus' AGAMENNON to Run Nov. 12 - 29 at La MaMa E.T.C.
by BWW News Desk
- Nov 29, 2009
Historically, English adaptations of Aeschylus' 'Agamemnon' have rendered its ancient Greek poetry into proven English poetic forms. The results have been often good and occasionally brilliant. Yet the original Greek meters provide clues as to how a section of a play was performed (sung, spoken or spoken to musical accompaniment). This has prompted Alexander Harrington, a director known for his mastery of oratorical theater, to attempt something radical: approximating Aeschylus' actual, original poetic meters in a new translation. This intrepid idea has resulted in a script of surprisingly clear stage speech and unusual poetic quality. It will debut November 12 to 29, 2009 in La MaMa's large Annex Theater, performed by The Eleventh Hour Theatre Company.
