Persephone: A Burlesque
|
When Persephone sets out to prove to her husband that love is greater than death, she sets in motion a series of events that quickly grow beyond her control. Based on characters from Greek mythology, including Hades, Eurydice, Orpheus and Aristeous, the story unfolds in a Vaudevillian/Burlesque style, and at the same time evokes the Italian Burlesque notion of poking fun at serious and tragic topics.
Book by Richard C. Washer and music by Mark Haag. |
