Festival<br />
Of Chaos<br />
Festival of Chaos brings<br />
three fresh new adaptations<br />
of classic plays to the stage<br />
– Euripides’ The Bacchae<br />
(adapted by Rosanna Lowe),<br />
Federico Garcia Lorca’s<br />
Blood Wedding (adapted<br />
by Tommy Murphy), and<br />
Hedda Gabler (adapted<br />
by Andrew Upton).<br />
In re-imagining these plays,<br />
Royal & Derngate’s Artistic<br />
Director Laurie Sansom<br />
takes us from the birthplace<br />
of the Olympics to the<br />
claustrophobia of 19th<br />
Century Scandinavia, and<br />
via rural Spain to a moneyhungry<br />
city increasingly<br />
out of touch with its roots.<br />
