Maya Hawke's Spark is The Bacchae

This week on The Spark Parade, the multi-talented Maya Hawke celebrates Chaos Angel by diving into an old, and we mean old, piece of art that has remained a source of inspired for years -- Euripides' classic Greek tragedy The Bacchae. Listen now.

Hawke first became aware of Euripides, expectedly, in school. As a teen, she appeared in a high school production of The Bacchae, and she's been absolutely entranced by the work ever since. The Stranger Things star continues to marvel at the universality baked into the ancient storytelling, as moments in her life consistently echo the themes of the play.
