Pi Theatre closes its 2023-2024 season with the Canadian premiere of Medicine from Friday, June 14 to Sunday, June 23, 2024 at the Vancity Culture Lab (1895 Venables Street).
Medicine is a heartbreaking, yet hugely energizing and thrilling journey through one man’s troubled past. It’s a devastatingly funny and moving meditation on how, for decades, we have treated those we have called ‘mentally ill’.
John lives in an institution. Every year, a couple of struggling local actors are hired to do “drama therapy” with John, re-enacting bits and pieces of his life and trauma. Chaos ensues, secrets come to light, and John grapples with the question of whether anyone is even watching.
Written by multi-award-winning Irish playwright Enda Walsh (Once; Lazarus) and directed by Pi Theatre’s Richard Wolfe, Medicine is smart, funny, and absurd.
