The Bacchae

Available for 18 days

Euripides’ Greek tragedy reimagined by Katherine Soper. In this new version, myth entwines with modernity to explore the root causes of rebellion. When a group of young women discover the mysterious and charming Bacchus online, they instantly form an unshakeable devotion to him and to each other. It has awakened something inside of them that cannot be contained. Is this a supportive sisterhood or something more dangerous? Bacchus ….. Colin Morgan Joy ….. Francesca Amewudah-Rivers Song …..
