{"product_id":"bakkhai","title":"Bakkhai","description":"A stunning, new translation by the poet and classicist Anne Carson, first performed in 2015 at the Almeida Theatre in London. Anne Carson writes, \"Euripides was a playwright of the fifth century BC who reinvented Greek tragedy, setting it on a path that leads straight to reality TV. His plays broke all the rules, upended convention and outraged conservative critics. The Bakkhai is his most subversive play, telling the story of a man who cannot admit he would rather live in the skin of a woman, and a god who seems to combine all sexualities into a single ruinous demand for adoration. Dionysos is the god of intoxication. Once you fall under his influence, there is no telling where you will end up.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Hardcover \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Published: USA, 2023\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Publisher: New Directions Publishing Corporation\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Pages: 96\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Language: English\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e ISBN 13: 9780811227100\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e ISBN 10: 0811227103\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Anne Carson; Euripides","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44467768361226,"sku":"","price":18.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/products\/9780811227100.jpg?v=1680085001","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/bakkhai","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
