Right now at 7 Stages, “The Followers” adapts the ancient Greek play “The Bacchae” by Euripides, which tells the story of the god Dionysus battling with Pentheus, the king of Thebes. In the play, Dionysus has returned in order to clear his mother’s name and establish himself as a god and ruler to a kingdom distrustful of his divinity.
