THE BACCHAE SEDUCES AT THE SECRET THEATRE THIS SPRING

The Queens Players in association with Femme Fatale Theater present Euripides’ timeless tragedy The Bacchae, in a production dripping with a sense of foreboding dark comedy this March 28th through April 14th. Femme Fatale Theater Co-Founder Robert Ribar directs a cast lead by Peter Oliver ("Law & Order: Special Victims Unit") as the seductive god Dionysus and Michael Axelrod (The Flea’s Restoration Comedy) as the doomed king Pentheus in a production that features original music and an all-male chorus.

When the young king of Thebes outlaws the worship of his cousin, the half-human god Dionysus, the deity returns to Earth to extract revenge on the family that has shunned him. Severed heads and cross-dressing kings populate this mysterious masterwork from 405 BC.

The cast features:

The production features scenic and lighting design is by Jonathan Cottle, costumes by Naomi Raddatz, original music by Ryan Marino. The production stage manager is Jasmin Sanchez. The Bacchae is produced for Femme Fatale Theater by Stephen Gribbin.
