Jack Cobabe - The Bacchae

The Classical Greek Theatre Festival presents a new version of Euripides' The Bacchae adapted and directed by Jack Cobabe. In Euripides' play, Dionysus returns to his birth city of Thebes and finds that the people do not worship him, believing him to be a scandal rather than a God. As punishment, he bewitches the women of the city into worshipping him and punishes King Pentheus for his lack of loyalty. This adaptation is centered around Pentheus' mother Agave, the former Queen of Thebes, and her free thinking aside from solely living to please the Gods.
