That's Radio Bacchae cutting transmission for the Fringe. Thanks for the ride, everyone. That was fun. Keep an eye out for the show next year. And keep an eye out for anyone displaying signs of wild bacchanalian abandon. Dionysos is everywhere. #wolvesbacchae

Watched this earlier today. Intense and poetic; a compelling bit of storytelling

This was truly intense and impressive. If you want a deeply engaging theatre piece at thd fringe, check it out. 5⭐

Loved this production. Lyrical, dynamic and absolutely captivating. Well worth adding to your Edinburgh schedule.

GREEK LOVERS + BOOK FESTIVAL LOVERS! Just noticed Mark Haddon (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time) will be talking about his book "Dogs and Monsters" - eclectic retellings of Greek myths wherein the ancient speaks to the contemporary. Sounds cool! www.edbookfest.co.uk/the-festival...

Today I met up with @neilwilliamson.bsky.social @bethkesh.bsky.social @echallewell.bsky.social and we went to see our friend @ewandownie.com perform in @companyofwolves.org production of Bacchae. It was an intense performance worth checking out. #edinburgh #postcard

Having a 10 year old in the house means coming across new paths into old stories. Here we've got Homer's Odyssey as a nine-part animated musical series! If you're into ancient stories, or adventure, or animation, or musicals....this one's got it. Happy watching! youtu.be/6K-eMKjo1bs?...

1/2 Taking a wee moment to say that the performing arts in Scotland is not *just* the Fringe. Scotland has a thriving community of extraordinarily talented artists, and a rich network of people doing great work to support it.

Assembly's doing a flash sale! COME SEE THE SHOW. @edfringe.bsky.social

@ewandownie.com just happened upon massive #TheBacchae poster, and is totally chill about it yep #AssemblyFestival @edfringe.bsky.social

"I hope that this story can help us see that we are all people, imperfect, slightly broken, and that behind all the rage, all of us are, in our own messed up way, looking for love."

Introducing our powerhouse artistic team! KATHARINE WILLIAMS on lighting design “I loved the design process on Bacchae. There was so much care in the room, and we ended up making a ritual environment that at times almost literally shimmers around Ewan as he moves. 1/3

1/3 Introducing our powerhouse artistic team! ALISA KALYANOVA on set and costume design “Creating The Bacchae with Company of Wolves was a profoundly rewarding experience. Our collaboration is always rich, but this piece invited an even deeper level of shared visual exploration.

On DIONYSUS. Reject god. God of change. God of becoming (who you are, or maybe who you aren't). God of wine, madness and theatre. Never wants the party to stop. So much fun it hurts. Image: Carved wood representation of Bacchus ca. 1677 CE. Attr. to Filippo Parodi. Museo Castello Sforzesco

We just learned about this show that hit Dublin Fringe in 2024..... Looks so interesting, wish we could have seen it. Thanks to Benjamin Gould at Commedia of Errors for mentioning. "It Was Paradise, Unfortunately", by Raphaël Amahl Khouri & Myrto StampoulouIt. www.classicsnow.ie/2025-events/...

On PENTHEUS King of Thebes, Agave's son, Dionysus' cousin. The crown is a prison. The weight of fate. Stray thoughts, feelings must be suppressed. He works with metal, stone. He goes hunting, gives commands. Does not look inside. Image: 2nd c. Mosaic, "of Pentheus", Musee de la Romanite Nîmes.

On AGAVE. Sister to Semele, foster mother to Dionysus. She did all the right things. But her life is empty. She thinks of her sister who died. She just wants to be touched. Image: Pentheus torn apart by Agave & Ino. Attic lekanis lid, ca. 450-425 BC. Unknown artist. Louvre Collection.
