Persephone

by Ross McGregor

produced by Arrows & Traps Theatre

Persephone is a contemporary re-telling of one of the most beloved stories of Greek mythology.   Sister-Goddesses Demeter and Hestia are just trying to get by. They have bills to pay, and little Persephone to care for.

The reign and rules of Zeus seem far behind them until young Persephone makes a fateful decision and runs away into the arms of Hades, keeper to the Underworld.

Demeter & Hestia must now return to the mountain kingdom they left millennia ago, to save what remains of their family, before time runs out.

The story of Persephone remains, as it always was, a story of love; how we abuse it, how it deceives us and how it makes life worth living.

Developed by the award-winning team behind Chaplin: Birth of a Tramp, HOLST: Music In The Spheres, The White Rose & Jekyll & Hyde, Persephone was an OnComm Finalist at the 2022 Off West End Awards.

McGregor the writer has created a modern masterpiece, full of unexpected twists and turns… Performances from the cast of five are uniformly excellent… A triumph. ★★★★★ Stage Review on Jekyll & Hyde

a glorious dance of creativity, melancholia, family and the precious power of expression. ★★★★★ Vincent’s Views on CHAPLIN: Birth of a Tramp

Performances hit the mark from top to bottom…. a contemporary adaptation that speaks to the ages. There Ought to be Clowns on Jekyll & Hyde

The White Rose really is a production where everything has come together beautifully… it cannot be faulted and, If I had my way, a pretty sharpish transfer to the west end would definitely follow this run at the Jack ★★★★★ Lastminute Theatre Tickets on The White Rose
