Show information
An outcast god. A powerless king. A mother who kills her only son. Glasgow's acclaimed Company of Wolves present an earth-shattering solo retelling of the myth of Dionysus: an epic of rejection, vengeance and rebirth told through story, dance and ancient song. Written and performed by Ewan Downie, The Bacchae blurs the lines between binaries: human and animal, male and female, victim and perpetrator, and takes us on a transformative journey from repression and denial to renewal and release. A hymn of rebirth for our shattered selves. The Bacchae premiered at The Barn in Aberdeenshire and The Byre Theatre in St Andrews in Autumn 2023, and returned for a barnstorming full run at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2025.
