May 4, 2014 - Anderson and his librettist, playwright Frank McGuinness, have compressed Sophocles' three Theban plays (Oedipus Rex, Oedipus at Colonus and Antigone) into a compactly dramatic two hour opera. Aug 2, 2012 - Antigone embraces death in defence of the body's right to receive burial and Creon leads his family and the city of Thebes to ruin by neglecting this right. Oct 3, 2011 - Heaney believes that tension between speech and silence is central to the play. Sep 20, 2007 - The Burial at Thebes: A version of Sophocles' Antigone. The Sophoclean Yet if Sophocles punishes this man who dares defy the rule of god, in Tom Littler's production this is muffled by an attempt to portray two version of a leader without clarifying an internal conflict. This fact already confirms that death occupies a central place in the tragedy. Jun 17, 2012 - The Antigone is, more than most, a modern drama, re-interpreted by, among others, Jean Anouilh, whose 1944 version addressed the Nazi occupation under which it was produced, Jean Cocteau, Bertolt Brecht, and Seamus Heaney, who Sophocles's Antigone, the earliest of his Theban plays, is also the work which most clearly shows the concern with balance between parallel and conflicting forces which informs all his plays and his approach to drama in general.

Jan 6, 2011 - The Burial at Thebes is Seamus Heaney's version of Sophocles' play Antigone. Three plays means a lot of characters, and ENO fielded an impressively strong cast with Roland Wood He decrees that Polynices, who attacked Thebes, not be given a burial. "The Burial at Thebes" is Seamus Heaney's retelling of "Antigone" a play written two-and-a-half thousand years ago by Sophocles. Oct 3, 2011 - The Burial at Thebes is a deft re-working of Sophocles's Antigone (not to be confused with Euripides's Antigone, which has a much happier ending). Antigone buries Polynices in secret, is discovered and condemned by Creon. Like all great drama, Sophocles' tragedy is both timeless and rooted in the particular.
