The Bacchae
By Euripides
Translated by Henry Hart Milman
Directed by Linden Little
October 22-25, 2020
One of Euripides’ later Greek tragedies, The Bacchae centers on the story of the spurned god Dionysus returning home to Thebes seeking revenge against the new King Pentheus. Conceived as a staged reading in a rock ‘n’ roll style, this reimagining envisions the god Dionysus as a pop star begging for the adoration of his hometown. See this modern twist on a historic tale where deadly consequences can’t be escaped.
