Bacchus (play)
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Bacchus is a 1951 play written by French dramatist Jean Cocteau. It's his last full-length play. It is set in a small German town in 1523.
It was opened in Théâtre Marigny in December 1951. A few days later François Mauriac attacked the play in Le Figaro littéraire accusing Cocteau of committing heresy. [1]
It was translated into English by Mary Hoeck as Bacchus. Translation has been published in The Infernal Machine and Other Plays (1963).
