URI Theatre presents: Bakkhai by Theo Fantozzi
The University of Rhode Island Theatre Department brings ancient Greece to the stage with a bold, student-led production of Euripides’ "Bakkhai," translated by Anne Carson. Directed by senior Theo Fantozzi, this reimagined classic blends timeless themes of power, identity, and divinity with a fresh, modern edge—set in a speakeasy and infused with live music.Featuring a talented student cast and original musical direction by Skyler Bobinski, "Bakkhai" explores the clash between order and chaos, reason and passion, and the consequences of denying the gods.
