About This Show

This classic drama is a bold parable for our time. The strategic use of race as a political tool, the shattering of political stalemates and the painful yet beautiful first steps toward truth and reconciliation are all brought to life in this blend of Greek myth, Irish storytelling, and stunning visual images. Nobel Prize-winner Seamus Heaney transforms Sophocles’ Philoctetes into a powerful new piece of modern theater. Jennifer Nelson directs.

“An effortlessly brilliant play.”
