2008.4.7. Irish poet Seamus Heaney's The Cure at Troy at Seattle Repertory Theatre. Story was based on Sophocles's play Philoctetes. Philoctetes , the holder of Hercules' bow, was abandoned on a dessert island by Odysseus 10 years ago due to the vile smell of his wound by a snake. Now, the prophecy requires him and his bow in order to win the Trojan war. Odysseus sent Neoptolemus, the son of Archilles, to trick Philoctetes to go to Troy with them. In the end, Neoptolemus confessed out of conscience, tried to persuade Philoctetes into leaving with them on his free will.
Single act, interesting 3-voice ensemble trying to retain some of the poetry by singing.
