Persephone

Oxford University student production company, Jazz Hands Productions, will present Persephone, an original musical, at Oxford Playhouse from Thursday 11 to Saturday 13 November.

Through a fusion of folk music and contemporary dance, this modern retelling of a classic Greek myth offers a new perspective on love, loss and recovery.

When Persephone, the young goddess of spring, leaves behind her sheltered childhood for the love of a stranger, she discovers a world far removed from the one she knew. In a world where immortality is rife, power is corrupt, and nothing is a secret, there’s one thing everyone craves but no one can keep for long: youth. This thoughtful and fresh production asks the question – how do you hold onto your innocence when you live forever?
