The Bacchae
 Euripides .
An all-new version of this DARK and LIBERATING play
"A new god has risen..."
When a new god - the god of the life force, the god of sensuality, wine and the dance, the god that other religions fear - arrives in a buttoned-down world, he finds a leader who no longer believes in a power higher than himself, who will do whatever it takes to preserve the status quo.  But this society is a ticking time bomb, revolution is in the air and the people are desperate for change.  A band of sisters are ready to explode and destroy everyone and everything that gets in their way in Mike Poulton's all-new version of this DARK and LIBERATING play, co-conceived with choreographer Mark Bruce and director Braham Murray.
