 A political satire, the play is an extensively localized adaptation of the [[Euripides]]'s ''[[The Bacchae]]'', set in the Cape winelands (the "Boland") during the Apartheid years. In the play the autocratic (white) wine farmer and his ([[coloured]]) foreman switch roles under the influence of Bacchus (or Dionysos[]), the Greek god of the grape-harvest, winemaking and wine, fertility, ritual madness, religious ecstasy and theatre, who arrives on the farm to become a character in the play.
