The Bakkhai - T0212357869Into a world of order and uniformity crashes a riotous band of travellers, promoting a cult of Ecstasy and Chaos. When the leaders of these opposing views collide, the consequences of their fanaticism are devastating. In this new and very contemporary version of The Bacchae the destructive embrace of opposites is examined through contemporary ignorance, prejudice and hatred. This is a play about the whole world and all time, and the endless struggles of men and women trapped between truth and delusion, heaven and hell.Company Strathclyde Theatre Group.

T0843628671This 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!
