Mainstage productions
Dionysus will produce an annual, full-length play. The company will aim to alternate comedy with drama, however, will not lock ourselves in to this given we are forever at the whim of director’s desires and Theatrical agents’ allowances…
​
There are no set rules or styles with these productions although the creative interpretation of an unimaginative space and an exploration of non-realism to present classic work in a modern and relevant way is certainly a trend.
​
Dionysus commits heavily to the playwright’s intentions, influences and the world in which their work was created and endeavours to place this in a bold and engaging context for our audience
