In this second rendition, two-time Harry S. Rintoul award winner, Jessy Ardern ’s play Prophecy is hitting the Rachel Browne stage for this riveting retelling of Homer’s Iliad.
Cassandra has been blessed with the ability to see the future, but her curse is that no one will ever believe her. In a story that slides between the mythic past and the looming future, she witnesses the events of a war that will overcome her homeland and destroy her family.
Channeling the singular voices of the Trojan women—her mother and sisters—Cassandra takes us from the past and into the present as old visions of love, rage, and revenge collide with new ideals of safety, righteousness, and comfort, sending ripples across time and space.
