Description
When a wealthy old man discovers that he is suffering from an incurable disease, he pledges to allow himself one final luxury, a private performance of his favourite play. Summoning a theatre troupe to his country mansion he instructs them to begin rehearsing for ‘The myth of Dionysus’. However, what he hadn’t anticipated is the neuroses of the troupe leader, the petty power struggles, the bed hopping and childish jealousies that finally oblige him to take the stage and enact his own death.
