Euripides' Bacchae - Michael Cacoyannis Foundation, Athens

The UCL Classical Drama Society presents a production of Euripides' Bacchae at Michael Cacoyannis Foundation on the 17th April 2015. Directed by Emily Louizou in a modern English translation by James Morwood. The Bacchae is Euripides’ last play, written shortly before his death, and within it the Greek tragedian encapsulates what it means to be a human being. Our production allows modern audiences to meet Dionysus — god of pleasure, madness, and liberation — in a mad Bacchic frenzy as a state of delusion which holds the human body at the centre of its creation. Euripides has created an enthralling piece: a game of antithetical forces, where sanity and madness come to conflict. In a performance-ritual about the battle between human instincts and human wisdom, join us for a dark celebration of the exotic and the ecstatic; for a journey of no time and no space into the ‘otherness’ of the human self. The production opened on the 10th February 2015 at the Bloomsbury Theatre, London receiving a sold-out run and a wealth of praise and commendation. Since then, it has been selected by the UK National Student Drama Festival as one of the best shows of 2014-2015. It has also been chosen to take part in the 4th International Festival of Ancient Drama in Ancient Messene, Greece in April. Finally, it has been invited to give a special performance at the British Museum on the 23rd of July.
