The Bacchae archiveThey have tasted pleasure and will defend it at any cost! Pentheus wants to stop the women - these wives, these lovers and mothers who have left their homes to revel with the god of dance and wine. He disguises himself as a woman and tries to repress their desires at any cost...The Bacchae tells of curiosity and control, invasion and rage. This is the British premiere of a startling new adaptation by the well-known Irish poet, Derek Mahon. This ancient play has echoes in recent events, dealing as it does with the search for faith and how it confronts both hope and terror. This short, sharp production of a very modern play has been relocated from Ancient Greece to late 20th Century America and with dynamic music throughout, you'll definitely have seen nothing like it before! This production is supported by the family and friends of the late John Clemow.
