Bacchae of Euripides

The translation captures the essence of ancient Greek theater through a vibrant and rhythmic interpretation.

He portrays the narrative as a grand banquet that reflects humanity's connection to the earth and the cyclical nature of existence. This unique blend of Euripides' original work and Soyinka's poetic vision creates a powerful and unforgettable theatrical experience.
