Bacchai by Euripides

Mainstage Theatre, CA 3043 Center for the Arts, 7700 Osler Drive, Towson, MD 21252

Dionysus, the god of wine and theatre, has returned to his native Thebes on a mission of revenge against his cousin, King Pentheus. The land of Thebes has strayed from worshiping the god of wine and theatre becoming a conservative city-state with little to no soul. Throughout the play, Thebes becomes enraptured by the cult of Dionysus eventually including its misguided king. When Dionysus’ revenge is manifested, the consequences are bloody, horrific and ruthless. Written by Euripedes; translated by Colin Teevan.
