Bacchae Theatre Company
Bacchae Theatre Company was born out of a desire to create Classical Theatre on a shoestring budget, out of a suitcase.
The Bacchae are an all female company producing classical theatre., resurrecting classical pieces from Greek tragedies to Victorian farces.
The founder, Samantha Dent trained at The Academy of Live and Recorded Arts in Wandsworth on a three-year actors course graduating in 1993. Later, after spending a few years touring with theatre in education companies and small scale productions, she decided to later deepen her literature knowledge and undertake a degree In English With Drama and Theatre Studies at Roehampton Institute in London.
It was While she was at Roehampton that she decided to create her own theatre company and recreate classical theatre. ‘The Frogs’ by Aristophanes. This was the first production and was inspired by her studies of Greek Literature at university. She went on to achieve a P.G.C.E. With Greenwich University in 2007, specialising in Drama in post compulsory education. (16-19 years).
