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
