Quintessence Theatre Presents: Seamus Heaney's The Cure at Troy: A Version of Sophocles' Philoctetes

One man holds the sacred weapon that will end the Trojan war, but can Odysseus find a way to convince the outcast Philoctetes to rejoin the Greek army and heal the society that spurned him? Inspired by Nelson Mandela’s release as well as the violent conflicts in Northern Ireland, Seamus Heaney’s The Cure at Troy is a fresh adaptation of Sophocles’ rarely produced Philoctetes. Unlike any tragedy you’ve seen, the choice between revenge or forgiveness was never more important.

Please note that all patrons must present proof of vaccination to attend indoor performances, and masks must be worn at all times inside the theatre.
