Cry Boy Cry: First Supper, an immersive dinner

Details

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

Cry Boy Cry tells the story of Euripides’ ancient drama The Bacchae 2500 years later. After traveling the middle east spreading his orgiastic religion Dionysus returned to his birthplace of Thebes to punish his mother's family who refuse to believe that he is the son of Zeus and that the Gods are to be respected.

As an enduring punishment for their hubris the royals of Thebes and their cohort are cursed to fight 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 an aging sideshow cabaret. But could this night be the night our merrymaking is enough to summon Dionysus and free the family of their curse?

As guests dine (and sip) on courses inspired by ancient Roman and Greek festival feasts our residents serve and entertain. In this fully immersive combination of fine dining and theater guests are not only there to observe but participate this ancient ritual of debauchery and hedonism.
