MAINSTAGE

KORE

By Gabrielle Orcha
Directed by Jessica Johnson

Persephone is 29, unemployed, broke, and trying to figure out what to do next. She's living with her mother, who's driving her crazy. Enter Hades - the attractive bad boy who might just offer the escape she needs to find herself.

This play is a contemporary telling of the myth of Persephone. Everything about the original myth is so passive-- Persephone is like a leaf floating along the current of these fated events. Everything is happening to her. That (flat) telling of the myth feels like something is missing, and this version puts Persephone in the driver's seat of her own life. It puts her at the center of the myth, and not the periphery. She has agency, intuition, and gall. In this version of the myth, we see relationships develop and evolve, and we get a glimpse into the mysterious and never fully understood Hecate, and her involvement / influence in Persephone's decisions.
