SIX SEEDS: The Persephone Project June 2, 2010

Thousands of years before Patty Hearst, Elizabeth Smart and Jaycee Lee Dugard were the subjects of primetime specials and made-for-TV movies; a beautiful girl named Persephone was violently abducted by a man who forcibly made her his wife.SIX SEEDS: The Persephone Project is a new play conceived and directed by Annie G. Levy, that finds Persephone herself in group therapy, telling her own story in her own words for the first time. Is she the first case of Stockholm syndrome, innocent victim, or a Lolita who loves her new life as wife and Queen of the Underworld? A new play reexamines the ancient Greek myth about a girl kidnapped by Hades, god of the Underworld, as a universal journey from girlhood to womanhood.
