Persephone,
Queen of the Dead

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 meets noble heros, phantasmagorical creatures, and vile monsters. She arranges her own rescue, but Hades devises a counter plan to keep her for an eternity. Based on the classic Greek Myths, this play is a tour of the underworld.
This surreal, choreographed play will shock, provoke, and comes from the dark recesses of the mind of director/choreographer Mark-Brian Sonna. The play is intended for mature audiences due to violence, intensity, and partial nudity.
