The Burial At Thebes - opens soon!
The Burial At Thebes, ODURep’s Fall production, is directed by Steve Earle. Shows are Wed-Sat, Nov 9-12 and Nov 16-19, at 7:30 pm in the Goode Theatre on Monarch Way @ 46th.
The Burial at Thebes explores the themes of freedom vs. security, individual rights vs. governmental power, and the inherent risks, compromises and consequences of our personal, political, and social choices.
Written in antiquity, it presents concepts as debate-worthy and thought-provoking today as they were in 442 BCE. Mr. Earle’s direction evokes the timeless nature of these issues, and the persistence of the tragedies of war, by blending and contrasting contemporary American and ancient Greek imagery. Seamus Heaney’s modern translation of Sophocles’ Antigone is timely and accessible while remaining true to the original poetic form.
We invite all to attend. Tickets are $15 and are available through ODUArtsTix.com or the Box Office at 683-5305.
