The fate of a raging war rests on one treacherous plan. Odysseus discovers the only way to guarantee a victory over the Trojans is by using the bow and arrow of the god Hercules. But the weapon just happens to be in the hands of Philoctetes, a wounded soldier Odysseus abandoned on a wretched, muddy island ten years earlier. Nobel Prize-winning poet Seamus Heaney, masterful director Tina Landau, and a young, vibrant cast take on the Trojan War in a way you've never imagined: up close, stunningly raw, and thoroughly human.
