The Show Must Go On

Originally slated for a fall premiere at the new John and Joan Mullen Center for the Performing Arts, live performances of Euripides' Bakkhai took a different stage this past October.

More than 1,500 viewers in 32 states and four countries streamed Villanova Theatre's Bakkhai Variations, a full-length film composed of five new plays inspired by Anne Carson's adaptation of the classic Greek tragedy and penned by MA in Theatre alumni.
