The Williston Theater presents
Bakkhai
Written by Euripides
A new version by Anne Carson
Dionysus, god of wine and ecstasy, returns to his birthplace to demand recognition. But when King Pentheus refuses to bow, the consequences are brutal, bloody, and unforgettable. Euripides' Bakkhai, in Anne Carson's electrifying modern translation, captures a timely clash between reckless power and the desperate need for public worship.
