BACCHANALIA
DO YOU DENY A GOD?
An intense and intimate re-imagining of The Bacchae by Euripides. Embedded in a hypnotic 60s setting, Pentheus thinks he has things perfectly under control in Thebes until his divine cousin, Dionysus, turns up with malice and anger.

THE STORY SO FAR...
Sleepwalk's inaugural production debuted in November 2023 at CRYPT in London. The two-week sold-out run saw 40 audience members dragged head-first into the chaotic city of Thebes.
Popular demand saw Bacchanalia extended for an additional four weeks in early 2024 - a run which also sold out.
