Rites archiveThe Bacchae find themselves in a ladies' public lavatory. This is Ada's realm, with Meg her servant, and a group of regulars from the homeless woman having breakfast to the chirpy office girls and the would-be suicide. Just another day in the Ladies? Much more than shocking goings-on in a ladies' loo, Rites is a black farce pitched between fantasy and naturalism, as real as a vivid dream: theatre as an arena for anarchy, disorder and rebellion, exploring its innate power to de-stabilise both social conformity and dramatic convention Rites was first presented by the National Theatre in 1969, directed by Joan Plowright, in an experimental theatre season. Maureen Duffy is a notable contemporary British playwright, poet and novelist.
