SIXTH FORM ENGLISH - THE BURIAL AT THEBES
As you know this play was commissioned by the Abbey Theatre Dublin. This theatre is showing a new production of the play commencing in early April.
Visit the site at; http://www.abbeytheatre.ie/2008season/the-burial-at-thebes.html
Here you will find a brief but good description (synopsis) of the main themes in the play. In readiness for your first English lesson with me when you return from the Easter holidays, be prepared to discuss the contents of the webpage at the Abbey theatre especially the connections that can be drawn between the story of the play and the "War on terror" following the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the USA. What parallels can you draw?
