BACCHANALIA
DO YOU DENY A GOD?
Hoxton Hall: March 11th - April 6th
An intense and fully immersive reimagining of The Bacchae by Euripides, embedded in a psychedelic 1960s setting. Bacchanalia is Sleepwalk Immersive's debut show, currently running for four weeks at Hoxton Hall, after two sold-out runs in 2023/24.
​
Bacchanalia has seen widespread critical acclaim, with Immersive Rumours calling it "lightning in a bottle", and BroadwayWorld describing the show as "a fascinating piece of immersive theatre that will have audience members wanting more".

The performance was also included in The Stage's Top 50 Shows of 2023, in which only four immersive productions were featured.

ABOUT BACCHANALIA
Bacchanalia is set in the 1960s 'Woodstock Era' and begins with the inauguration of Pentheus, the new Mayor of Thebes, who intends to bolster the city's moral character and reinforce its nobility through his leadership.
​
However, his plans are dramatically interrupted by the arrival of Dionysus, the god of wine and pleasure, alongside his cult-like followers.
​
Set across four storeys of an iconic London grade II* listed building, audiences are invited to explore the city freely, choosing to follow characters and narratives at will, as Thebes descends into madness and debauchery...
