In one of the best Off-Off Broadway shows this year, the outstanding experimental theater troupe Elevator Repair Service debuts its new show, a fantastically inventive and strange reinterpretation of Euripides' The Bacchae. The group presents found-object puppetry, hilarious choreography, its characteristically boundless energy, and a host of company regulars.

Best of the Week

With no more props than you might find in your cubicle, the downtown troupe Elevator Repair Service has managed to produce an adaptation of The Bacchae. Experimental without being pretentious, witty without being precious, ERS's Off-Off Broadway production deploys sight gags, slapstick, campy choreography, and a small thermos to surprising effect. Catch it before it closes November 19.
