Bacchai is one of the top dozen plays ever written. Whenever its performed, it seems extraordinarily timely. Its haunted me all my life.
Peter Hall
After huge successes with Aeschylus The Oresteia and Sophocles The Oedipus Plays, Peter Hall turned to Bacchai, Euripides powerful tragedy about the cult of Dionysus. On the Nationals Olivier stage he presented a stunningly imaginative production played in masks, using a new translation by Colin Teevan, with original music by Harrison Birtwhistle, and designs by Alison Chitty.
Jonathan Croall observed the rehearsal process in minute detail, regularly interviewing the actors and creative team as the production moved from readthrough to preview. His book offers an intimate and absorbing picture of how a team of world-class theatrical talents brought one of the masterpieces of Greek theatre to the stage.
This new edition includes an extra chapter on the productions visit to the ancient theatre of Epidaurus in Greece, and a new foreward by Peter Hall.
