| Warning: these photographs of The Bacchae are from a dress rehearsal and, sadly, a dress rehearsal at which Eve opted not to soak herself in blood for the final scenes; therefore some of the photos do not aptly convey the horror of the real thing as it was on the night. If you want to experience The Bacchae in its full blood-soaked magnificence, you'll have to order a copy of the limited edition DVD, available in July 2004. | |
 "The female population of Thebes, to the last woman, I have sent raving from their homes to join The daughters of Cadmus in the forests and the hills." |
 Julia Harrison, James Stewart, Irene Flanagan, Alex Greig and Eve Middleton as the Chorus. |
 "Take this madman and no more let him make A mockery of me and of our great city." James Stewart as Dionysus and Alex Greig as Pentheus |
 "Women, this man is now within my net. He'll visit the Bacchae and meet with death." James and Alex as Dionysus and Pentheus |
 "I long to set Thebes laughing at him as He walks in female garb throughout the streets" The Chorus sing while onscreen Pentheus is transformed. |
 "My thyrsus - should I hold it in my right Or my left hand to look more like a Bacchanal?" James and Alex as Dionysus and Pentheus |
 "Fly, fly you hounds of madness Fly to the mountains where Cadmus' daughters dance in ecstasy" |
 "The thousand women set themselves upon him; Pentheus screamed as long as life was in him While the Bacchae howled in triumph." Julia Harrison as the Messenger |
 "I caught him without a trap - A lion cub, young and wild." Eve Middleton as Agauë with Pentheus' head |
 "Will no one call my son to see me here And share in this my happiness?" Eve Middleton as Agauë |
 "What noble prize is this that you lay down Before the gods' feet?" Eve as Agauë and James as Cadmus, with Chorus and severed head. |
 "Now I shall die with none to mourn for me. My son, how cruel and unnatural are these tears Which should have fallen from your dear eyes On my dead face. Now I will die alone." Eve Middleton as Agauë |
 "Behold me wretches, great and powerful. I am Dionysus; the son the Theban Semele Bore to immortal Zeus." |
