A fallen family. A feast fit for the gods. A summoning of the god of wine and revelry.

Cry Boy Cry weaves the tale of Euripides’ timeless drama The Bacchae reimagined 2500 years later. After journeying through the Middle East spreading his orgiastic religion Dionysus returns to his homeland of Thebes seeking retribution against his mother’s kin who deny his divine lineage as the son of Zeus and the reverence due to the Gods.

As an enduring punishment for their hubris the royals of Thebes and their cohort are cursed to vie for Dionysus’ favor in a never-ending nightly ritual of Bacchic revelry. After millennia of failing the Most Ancient and Esteemed House of Cithaeron has become Lady Di’s Ecstasy Room a weathered sideshow cabaret crooning a never-ending swan song of forgotten glory.

As guests dine (and sip) on courses inspired by the ancient Roman festival feast of Lupercalia our residents serve and entertain. In this fully immersive combination of fine dining and theater audiences enter as formal dinner guests of Lady Di’s Ecstasy Room but before long discover they have been unwittingly conscripted into a sacred ritual of god summoning and feral revelry.
