The Bacchae

September - December 2004; February 2005

Medium to large scale

Award-winning director Emma Rice’s all-male version of Euripides’ play where violence and revenge counterbalance sex and joy, culminating in a bloody denouement. With a cast of twelve this exceptional play is as resonant now as it must have been over 2,000 years ago. It tells of curiosity and control, decadence and mob rule, voyeurism and rage.
