Paul Scofield, Diana Rigg, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Toby Stephens star in the first of three plays by Andrew Rissik that examine the conflict between religion and state. Dionysos is the leader of a charismatic religion which, by its belief in an ecstatic god of boundless power and goodness, makes no distinction between rich or poor, male or female, slave or free, and thereby threatens to destabilise the rule of King Pentheus.
Music by Mia Soteriou
Director Jeremy Mortimer

The other two plays in the series are broadcast next Sunday at 6.15pm.
