Join us on Thursday, March 5 for two events celebrating this play that helped earn Soyinka the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1986. In this play, Soyinka blends the mythology of Dionysus with that of Ogun, the Yoruba god of iron and palm wine. By the end of that year, he had completed the script of The Bacchae of Euripides: A Communion Rite, which would debut at the National Theatre in London in 1973. In October 1969, Wole Soyinka, who had spent twenty-two months in prison for his political opposition to the Nigerian Civil War, was released.
