About AOD

Actors of Dionysus is a registered charity and limited company and was founded in 1993 to put flesh on the bones of ancient Greek drama. In the last 25 years we have taken our productions around the globe, touring nationally and internationally, and have become known for our "rapid, smooth and satisfyingly poetic" (Time Out) new versions of this rich canon of ancient drama.
