A new musical, Persephone, by Emma Hawkins and Carrie Penn, performed at The Junction, Cambridge, by Jazz Hands Productions, 4-5 August 2022, directed by Emma Hawkins.

"Inspired by the classic Greek myth........ The rural town of Olympus has fallen into a steady rhythm under the fixed control of Zeus. Immortality grows rife, power is corrupt and nothing is a secret for long. Yet for the young Persephone, who lives hidden away in the fields, the little old town is nothing but a story. With the arrival of a mysterious stranger, Persephone is set on a journey that’ll entwine her with the little old town forever. For this is a world of folklore, but also a world of immortality, and when you live forever there is one thing everyone craves but no one can keep for long: youth."
