New York's avant-garde Faux-Real Theatre, which specializes in staging the classics of Greek theatre with an immersive abandon that closely approximates how these plays were first experienced thousands of years ago, is pulling out the stops with Euripides' THE BACCHAE. Returning to La MaMa, 74A East 4th Street, Faux-Real juices THE BACCHAE is filled with music, dancing, masks, and titillating gender and costume malfunctions galore. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the show below!
