  • You should not stop your thinking process with blurting out an explicative. Euripides is the thinking person's dramatist. Everyone has an opportunity to work out what he is doing in The Bacchae. He's challenging you to think. You should make the effort. If you are reading late Euripides, so you will be on to Meander and Plautus soon enough. They will not challenge. They seek only to entertain. Their work will be easily understood - with pots of gold, mistaken identities, romance.

  • Pure insanity. Excellent! Great visualisation of one of the bestest plays wrote by Euripides, who in my opinion is the greatest of the great triada.

  • @mrdudebox What the hell? Why say that? What turns YOU on, then?

  • Euripedes puts the agon in agony! I never tire of him...(and thanks to those that giggle at my bad bad pun!).

  • This is an excellent example of how to produce some of theatres most memorable BULLSHIT. What a nightmare, wish they would shut up so I can fall asleep! Poor audience...

  • To the mountains, you hounds of madness, run !

  • HA! Silly rabbit.

  • Morgan Marcum stole the scene. Bravo!
