An online staged reading of a new translation of Euripides’ THE BACCHAE by Aaron Poochigian
ONE NIGHT ONLY! Monday, December 7th at 7:00pm EST - Free of charge: GET YOUR TICKET HERE
The Greek God Dionysus is coming to you online to make sure you are still worshipping him, even if it is socially distant. Dionysus demands ecstatic revels of his worshippers, and Faux-Real won’t let him down. The reading is a loyal interpretation of this 5th century-BC tragedy by Euripides. That is to say, it is scary, crazy, and engaging - a virtual trip to the past that will bring actor and audience together in these quarantined times.
Charles McNulty (LA Times) “by far the most theatrically assured rendition of the play I’ve encountered.”
Aram Kouyoumdjian (Asbarez) “Poochigian’s translation . . . a triumph―a remarkably lucid and vibrant rendition.”
