Dionysus Resurrected analyzes the global resurgence since
the late 1960s of Euripides' The Bacchae. By analyzing
and contextualizing these modern day performances, the author
reveals striking parallels between transformational events taking
place during the era of the play's revival and events within
the play itself.
* Puts forward a lively discussion of the parallels between
transformational eventsduring the era of the play's revival
and events within the play itself
* The first comparative study to analyse and contextualize
performances of The Bacchae that took place between 1968 and
2009 from the United States, Africa, Latin America, Europe and
Asia
* Argues that presentations of the play not only represent
liminal states but also transfer the spectators into such
states
* Contends that the play's reflection on various stages of
globalization render the tragedy a contemporary play
* Establishes the importance of The Bacchae within
Euripides' work as the only extant tragedy in which the god
Dionysus himself appears, not just as a character but as the
protagonist
