Pentheus is the boy-King of Thebes. Pentheus is a trans woman. IT IS A SECRET! It is a poorly kept secret. When the new God Dionysus arrives from the east promising liberation from all hang-ups and insecurities, Pentheus sees an opportunity to finally become the woman she is inside. But at what cost? Pentheus is a play about power, gender, and being trapped in the wrong story.
