Event Description

Directed by Emma Laube ‘17, Bakkhai is a powerful new translation of the Greek classic by award-winning classics scholar, poet, and writer Anne Carson. Pentheus has banned the wild, ritualistic worship of the god Dionysos. A stranger arrives to persuade him to change his mind. Euripides’ electrifying tragedy is a struggle to the death between freedom and restraint, the rational and the irrational, human and god. Featuring new music by Clifton J. Noble. $10 General, $5 Students and Seniors.
