An intense re-imagining of the Bacchae by Euripides, with a hypnotic 1960s setting. 40 audience members mingle with 6 performers in a free-roam immersive show in an underground crypt.

Take a trip to the city of Thebes, where King Pentheus believes he has everything under control - that is until his divine cousin Dionysus turns up seeking revenge on the family who have expressed doubt about this upstart god’s status. Witness first-hand the clash between mortals and the divine.  You will ask yourself … do you deny a god?

Brought to you by Sleepwalk Immersive.  We offer intense theatrical experiences for small audiences – telling stories which will haunt and enthral.
