The Bacchanals and Other Plays is a collection of ancient Greek plays by the renowned playwright Euripides. This collection includes four plays, including The Bacchanals, Iphigenia at Aulis, Rhesus, and The Cyclops. The Bacchanals is a tragedy that tells the story of the god Dionysus and his followers, the Bacchae, who come to Thebes to spread their religion. The play explores themes of power, gender, and the dangers of excess. Iphigenia at Aulis is a tragedy that tells the story of Agamemnon, who is forced to sacrifice his daughter Iphigenia in order to appease the gods and ensure a successful voyage to Troy. The play explores themes of sacrifice, duty, and the consequences of war. Rhesus is a tragedy that tells the story of the Trojan War from the perspective of the Trojans. The play explores themes of fate, honor, and the nature of heroism. The Cyclops is a satyr play that tells the story of Odysseus and his encounter with the one-eyed giant Polyphemus. The play is a comedic take on the epic poem The Odyssey and explores themes of cleverness and deception.

       “Some shows have warnings for strobe lights.

       “Plenty of glamorous backstabbing, diva dissing and sexual double-crossing…has every right to claim the name Dynasty for itself.  But the title character in Betty Shamieh’s bouncy, bumpy comic melodrama is the real thing. A queen, I mean, and not just of the self-dramatizing type. Scratch that. She’s more than a queen. She’s a pharaoh, one Hatshepsut, who reigned over Egypt ...
