SUMMARY:Medicine
DESCRIPTION: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). \nMedicine is a heartbreaking\, yet hugely energizing and thrilling journey through one man’s troubled past.

Chaos ensues\, secrets come to light\, and John grapples with the question of whether anyone is even watching. \nWritten by multi-award-winning Irish playwright Enda Walsh (Once; Lazarus) and directed by Pi Theatre’s Richard Wolfe\, Medicine is smart\, funny\, and absurd. \nOpening Night: Friday\, June 14 at 8:00pm \nPreview: Thursday\, June 13 at 8:00pm \nPerformance Times: June 15\, 18\, 19\, 20\, 21\, & 22 at 8:00pm \nMatinees: June 15 & 22 at 4:00pm | June 16 & 23 at 2:00pm \nTickets: $38 at pitheatre.com \nVenue: Vancity Culture Lab (1895 Venables Street)
