Mothers, sisters, wives, lovers and any other female relation you can think of have left their homes to indulge in a little revelling with Bacchus, the god of dance and wine. Euripides’ sensual and anarchic follows the ladies shift from being the chosen to the guilty.

Kneehigh, who have found success in recent years with The Red Shoes (2002) and The Wooden Frock (2003), return to the capital with this darkly witty tale.

The Bacchae contains nudity and is suitable for those over the age of 12.
