Following their critically acclaimed run of Shakespeare productions, Classic Stage Ireland now move into the equally rich yet less-explored area of Ancient Greek theatre.
The Bacchae, Euripides' last and greatest play, contains some of the most powerful and unusual scenes in all of ancient drama; and the most poetic and terrifying chorus.
Descending on the city of Thebes with his band of female worshippers (the Bacchae), the god Dionysus demands that Pentheus, the headstrong young King of Thebes, lift his prohibition against the god’s ecstatic rites. In the face of Pentheus’ increasingly wild and blasphemous defiance, the Gods finally set in motion the most shocking ritual of humiliation and destruction suffered by any Greek hero.
There will a free post show discussion following performances on Thursday 14 and Wednesday 20 January.
“A production by Classic Stage Ireland is always worth waiting for.” Irish Times
