Persephone
From Cuddington Youth Drama
Persephone
On Saturday and Sunday, 27th and 28th November 2010, CYD's younger group presented Persephone, an exciting kidnap story based on the Greek myth with a cast of gods, mortals and sea nymphs. Persephone is the daughter of Demeter, the Goddess of Nature. One bright summer morning she is kidnapped by Hades and forced to live in the Underworld.
