Synopsis:,
Anne Carson writes, \x93Euripides was a playwright of the fifth century BC who reinvented Greek tragedy, setting it on a path that leads straight to reality TV. His plays broke all the rules, upended convention and outraged conservative critics. The Bakkhai is his most subversive play, telling the story of a man who cannot admit he would rather live in the skin of a woman, and a god who seems to combine all sexualities into a single ruinous demand for adoration. Dionysos is the god of intoxication. Once you fall under his influence, there is no telling where you will end up.\x94,
,
BAKKHAI tells the tragedy of Pentheus, King of Thebes, and his mother, Agave, at the hands of Dionysos, god of wine, fertility, theatre, and ecstasy, along with the help of his ritualistic followers, the Bakkhai. Dionysos has come to Thebes to address allegations levied by Agave and her sisters that he is not a son of Zeus. When he discovers Pentheus has banned his worship and existence, Dionysos sets into motion a plan to make sure Thebes never again denies his divinity. ,
