Description

Society has collapsed and the Ravens rule. No more books, songs, or stories. No more dreams or imagination. Yet, while they may believe that history can indeed be both written and erased by the victors, the Magpies are here to prove them wrong, daring to tell tales of hope from the Old World, as they strive to build a better and brighter future in this new one. Today they'll share the story of Persephone, and the promised return of spring. A story of hope and change, which the Ravens would kill to keep you from hearing...

Our family stumbled into this one and we loved it. Highly recommended for all ages. Beautifully acted. I would love to see more by these performers!

Entertaining and family friendly - the "story" element of the classic Greek myth of Persephone and Hades was well executed, though some of the costume changes were a bit cumbersome. I would have liked a little more of the ravens and magpies story to come out as this seemed to be used to just introduce the two actors and set the scene for why the story was being told, rather than as an active part of the story itself.
