The Love of the Nightingale
By Timberlake Wertenbaker
Summary:
The Love of the Nightingale is a bold and poetic retelling of the ancient Greek myth of Philomele and Procne. After a brutal betrayal by her brother-in-law, Philomele refuses to let her story be buried. Through resilience and an unyielding desire for truth, she finds a way to be heard. This powerful production explores themes of sexual violence and the consequences of silence, with searing relevance to today.
