THE BACCHAE
31 July - 24 August 2025 // ASSEMBLY ROXY
An outcast god. A powerless king. A mother who kills her only son. Glasgow's acclaimed Company of Wolves present an earth-shattering solo retelling of the myth of Dionysos: an epic of rejection, vengeance and rebirth told through story, dance and ancient song.
Written and performed by Ewan Downie, The Bacchae blurs the lines between binaries: human and animal, male and female, victim and perpetrator, and takes us on a transformative journey from repression and denial to renewal and release.
A hymn of rebirth for our shattered selves.
★★★★ Herald, ★★★★ Times, “heart-shuddering” Exeunt (on Achilles)
