"Bacchai is one of the top dozen plays ever written. Whenever it's
performed, it seems extraordinarily timely. It's haunted me all my
life.' Peter Hall After huge successes with Aeschylus' The Oresteia
and Sophocles' The Oedipus Plays, Peter Hall turned to Bacchai,
Euripides' powerful tragedy about the cult of Dionysus. On the
National's Olivier stage he presented a stunningly imaginative
production played in masks, using a new translation by Colin
Teevan, with original music by Harrison Birtwhistle, and designs by
Alison Chitty. Jonathan Croall observed the rehearsal process in
minute detail, regularly interviewing the actors and creative team
as the production moved from readthrough to preview. His book
offers an intimate and absorbing picture of how a team of
world-class theatrical talents brought one of the masterpieces of
Greek theatre to the stage. This new edition includes an extra
chapter on the production's visit to the ancient theatre of
Epidaurus in Greece, and a new foreward by Peter Hall."
