Bacchae. Mike Poulton

Bacchae - Mike Poulton

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. The women of Thebes 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
