The Bacchae
By Euripides
Translated by William Arrowsmith
Wells- Metz Theatre
Sept 25 -26, Sept 29 - Oct 2 | 7:30 p.m.
Oct 3 | 2:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.

A stranger comes to Thebes with a promise: freedom.
When King Pentheus denies the power of Dionysus, his city falls: celebration turns savage, and those who resist the god are drawn toward an unimaginable fate. Euripides' The Bacchae explores the balance between reason and faith. This Ancient Greek story is a haunting tragedy that asks what happens when humanity tries to ignore what it cannot explain.
Kendrick Weingast's production of The Bacchae centers on those who pay the ultimate price for this game between gods and men.
