Peter Hall's 'Bacchai' by Jonathan Croall

Dionysos, the God of wine and theatre has returned to his native land to take revenge on the puritanical Pentheus who refuses to recognise him of his rites. Remorselessly, savagely and with black humour, the God drives Pentheus and all the city to their shocking fate.
Jonathan Croall comes from an acting background: his father John Stuart was a star of the early British cinema, his mother a drama-school teacher and leading voice coach. He has been editor of Arts Express magazine, of the National Theatre's magazine StageWrite, and the programmes editor at the Old Vic. He is the author of Sybil Thorndike: A Star of Life; Buzz Buzz! Playwrights, Actors and Directors at the National Theatre; The Coming of Godot: A Short History of a Masterpiece (nominated for the 2005 Theatre Book Prize); and Hamlet Observed, Inside the Molly House and Peter Hall's 'Bacchai' in the series The National Theatre at Work. His latest theatre book is John Gielgud: Matinee Idol to Movie Star. His other books include the biography Neill of Summerhill, and the oral history Don't You Know There's a War On?: Voices from the Home Front, and the children's novel Sent Away.
