Irish Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney delivers an exquisite adaptation of Sophocles' Antigone, reviving the Greek tale of love and self-sacrifice for today's theatergoer. As with the original, "The Burial at Thebes" focuses on the never resolved conflict between a person's individual rights and the demands of the state. The timeless struggle for honor is called into question in the face of challenging authority: to whom does loyalty belong - to one's family and cultural practices or to the law decreed by the state?

Under the direction of critically-acclaimed Marcela Lorca, "The Burial at Thebes" features original music by composer J.D. Steele, infusing this ancient tragedy a modern edge.  Runs Sept. 24 to Nov. 6 at the Guthrie Theater.
