Recommendations of Persephone

  • Bruce Bonafede: Persephone

    The author deftly handles multiple scenes in a few pages. And deals with a serious subject with a light touch. Achingly sweet, this is a wonderful play.

  • Stephen Kaplan: Persephone

    Selected by multiple students to work on in our student-directed one act festival. Addressed the story line with humor and pathos and was a highlight of the evening.

  • Luke Pound: Persephone

    A unique take on death and the metaphysical combined with a fascinating perspective of grief from the other side of the veil. Wonderfully moving and emotional.

  • Sam Rozov: Persephone

    This play is ingenious in its unique way of speaking to the audience, and offers a heartwarming ending. It really illustrates the concept of love transcending death.

    Persephone is such a heartwarming yet hilarious play. Persephone talking directly to the audience makes the play feel very personal. Wonderful message about life after death. A must read!

  • Robyn Ginsburg Braverman: Persephone

    The tender sweetness of a deceased mother and wife trying to steer her grieving family towards new possibilities is touching. A beautiful work by Jennifer O'Grady.

  • Lucy Wang: Persephone

    What a gorgeous play. Love is about the doing, and O'Grady has done it!! O'Grady has written an imaginative play as timeless and beautiful as the myth of Persephone itself. Brava.

    An astonishingly beautiful play. Moving, poetic, real, and raw, this play deserves production after production.
