The Reciprocity of Persephone

Bottle Alley Theatre Company presents The Reciprocity of Persephone, the final show in our fifth season, Jump Off A Building.

My dear, my dear, it is not so dreadful here. - Prayer to Persephone, Edna St. Vincent Millay

The otherworldly garden that Kore and her mother, the goddess Demeter, occupy is all Kore has even known. Kore spends her days performing routine gardening and harvesting duties under the doting yet watchful care of her mother, who lives in fear that one day her daughter will discover the truth of her origins. But Kore is growing restless: though her mother forbids it, she longs to see new places, create new plants and talk to new people: perhaps one of the Gods of Olympus? It is then that Kore unintentionally attracts the attention of Hades, god of the Underworld. Thrilled to have a new companion, it would seem that Kore's prayers have been answered-until she finds herself caught between the tempting affections of a lonely deity and the fierce love of a mother who cannot let her go. Kore must uncover her true nature, find her own power, and discover who she has been all along...Persephone.
