Overview

The Bacchae is an ancient Greek tragedy, written by Euripides. The tragedy is based on the Greek myth of Prince Pentheus of Thebes and his mother Agave, and their punishment by the god Dionysos. The god Dionysos appears at the beginning of the play and proclaims that he has arrived in Thebes to avenge the slander, which has been repeated by his aunts, that he is not the son of Zeus. In response, he intends to introduce Dionysian rites into the city, and he intends to demonstrate to the king, Pentheus, and to Thebes that he was indeed born a god. At the end of the play, Pentheus is torn apart by the women of Thebes and his mother Agave bears his head to her father Kadmos.

The stage management for this show produced new challenges under the current Covid climate, actors had to consistently social distance during rehearsals and contact with props had to remain limited. To combat this several inventive solutions had to be found. 2-metre markings were placed within the rehearsal rooms so the actors could be conscious of their spacing, on top of this hand sanitizer and wipes were placed around to allow cleaning in between scenes. The air circulation was kept clear by opening the door during breaks and props were only allowed to be touched by the actor using them.
