Bakkhai<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

By Euripides
Translated by Anne Carson
Download Program (PDF)<\/a>
A stunning, new translation of Euripides’ play by poet and classicist Anne Carson. Carson writes, \u201cEuripides was a playwright of the fifth century BC who reinvented Greek tragedy, setting it on a path that leads straight to reality TV. His plays broke all the rules, upended convention and outraged conservative critics. Bakkhai<\/em> is his most subversive play, telling the story of a man who cannot admit he would rather live in the skin of a woman, and a god who seems to combine all sexualities into a single ruinous demand for adoration.”

<\/a>Hailed as the perfect musical comedy, this award-winning classic gambles with luck and love under the bright lights of Broadway. “Count me squarely in the Guys and Dolls camp. If there\u2019s a flaw to be found in the 1950 ‘musical fable of Broadway,’ based on characters created by journalist\/short story writer Damon Runyon, it\u2019s not in Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows\u2019 drum-tight book. And it\u2019s certainly not in Frank Loesser\u2019s honey of a score.” – New York Stage Review<\/p>\n\n\n\n
