A young woman, Persephone, is picking flowers one day. The earth opens up and she's abducted by Hades, Lord of the Dead, and taken to the underworld to reign over the souls of the dead. As Persephone is toured through her new domain she arranges her own rescue, but Hades devises a counter plan to keep her for an eternity. Based on the classic Greek Myth, this play is a tour of the ancient view of what the underworld looked like. The play is intended for mature audiences due to violence, and partial nudity.
