Welcome,

Congratulations on staging a fantastic, thought provoking and a successful commercial production.

Bacchae written by Euripides, proclaimed as the best play Euripides has written, best play ever staged in Athens,

Notably ! ancient Greeks [ during the fifth Century BCE ] treated their women appallingly,

Bacchae/Dionysus mother Semele was ridiculed by her two sisters [ Agave and …. ], they questioned if Semele [ Bacchae/Dionysus’s mother ] was

really loved by Zeus, or was Semele described as another mistress to Zeus ?

The new young God [ Bacchae/Dionysus ] took revenge on his aunt Agave and got her to kill her own son [ King Pentheus ]

The season is over, so go hard you too, on every detail,

tell us what was expected and the story that wasn’t detailed on purpose in the program.

Let’s start with Elise;

Q1] Tell us what you wanted from bacchaetoo ?

#bacchetoo tells the story of Euripides play Bacchae then adds #meToo movement, to answer the struggle for Women, Life and Freedom.

Joe, what did you want to achieve from staging bacchaetoo ?

Q2] what’s next, What it’s future ? [ longer season perhaps sometime in the future ?

Q3] who’s idea was it, to project a message,

that Bacchaetoo is about having a much much better future without men running it ?

With Social media and the effects of #meto movement,

Men now understand that they’ve treated women appallingly

Q4] Are men ready to be treated by women who now act like the men of the past ?

Q5] Was Sienna D’amico [ playing Maia ] asking

wishing for men to be included in her society growing up ?

The future of men is in the hands of women of the future

Looking forward to speaking to you soon.

Best Regards

Jerry Guirguis
