Following the overwhelming success of the 2008 USA tour of Bacchae, Director Leonidas Loizides and the cast of the Loizides Theatrical Group, continue their dedication and commitment to bring the ultimate form of Ancient Greek culture and heritage, the Ancient Greek Theater, to every corner of the world where Hellenes and Philhellenes live. This tour is under the auspices of the Greek Government with the support of SAE USA and its director Ted Spyropoulos, the "Paideia" project and its director Elias Tomazos, and the Hellenic Federation of Northern California and its president Ted Laliotis. The play portrays the plight of women and children following the defeat of Troy at the Trojan war and brings alive the timeless message that there are neither winners nor losers at any war, and that despite the disaster and despair, there is always hope and catharsis.
