A Queer reimagining of the ancient Greek classic. Underscored with original electronic dance music and filled with raucous dance. Devised with some of Britain’s most exciting new talent from the NYT REP and directed by Maisie Newman, recipient of the 2022 Bryan Forbes Directors Bursary, at the NYT Workshop Theatre. Maisie will be mentored by Sarah Frankcom as part of her Bryan Forbes Bursary.

“Newman and Head unbind the text, extract from it, add to it, and then rebind it in ways that show deep appreciation for the play and the possibilities it presents. It is a Queer imagining that boldly tackles the politics of the writing and telling of history.”
“Bakkhai carves a new version of this play into history.”
