Persephone • TYA • World Tales

Persephone • TYA • World Tales

Adapted from the Greek Myth by Genevieve Aichele

Kidnapping. Heartbreak. Evil exacting a price. Sounds like the 5 o’clock news? Well, no — it is Ancient Greece and the battle by Hades, Lord of the Underworld, to retain that which he has stolen; the beautiful Persephone, daughter of Demeter, a Goddess. Humor abound as Gods and mortals choose sides in the battle. Told with a Chorus and Leader, the form is classic Greek theater… but with a modern twist!
