Benjamin Evett is perfect as the borderline-scummy Pentheus. He and his arrogant band of secret service agents, complete with slicked hair and alligator-green suits (and, yes, sandals), really make it easy to hate this pompous leader who mocks his own grandfather.

They click on the same Websites, they listen to the same music, they know the code." Last week, he surmises, they began a "game of chicken" with city authorities.
