Event Description
The season continues in February with a new take on the timeless drama of Euripides's The Bacchae. A mysterious stranger arrives in Thebes, setting the stage for a clash between order and chaos, reason and desire, human authority and divine power. As King Pentheus challenges the god Dionysus and his growing influence, the city is swept into a thrilling and devastating struggle that blurs the line between civilization and instinct. Timeless and provocative, The Bacchae explores the consequences of denying the forces that make us human. Directed by Toby Vera Bercovici.
