The Bacchae of Euripides:
A Communion Rite

By Wole Soyinka

February 6-22, 2002, Clarence Brown Theatre

The Clarence Brown Theatre is proud to produce this adaptation based on the classic Greek play. Playwright Wole Soyinka won the Nobel Prize for Literature and has fought for change and peace in his native Nigeria through his work as a writer, through his time as a political prisoner and through his exile from his home country. This timely play about nations, rulers and religion is produced as part of the University of Tennessee's African Semester celebration.

"First of all I believe implicitly that any work of art which opens out the horizons of the human mind, the human intellect is by its very nature a force for change, a medium for change." – Wole Soyinka
