MCGUIRE PROSCENIUM STAGE
Guthrie Theater, 818 South 2nd Street, Minneapolis, MN 55415
BURIAL AT THEBES
A Greek tragedy brought up to date for the modern audience
The Burial at Thebes hits the Mcguire Proscenium Stage in Minneapolis, MN Ended 6 Nov 2011.
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 Marcela Lorca, whose critically-acclaimed production of Caroline, or Change captivated Guthrie audiences, The Burial at Thebes features original music by composer J.D. Steele of legendary Steele family fame, infusing this ancient tragedy a modern edge.
