Recommendations of Persephone

  • Lisa Dellagiarino Feriend: Persephone

    This is beautiful. A short play that deals with death in such an effortless way, without becoming too heavy - amazing! It's sweet and sad and even funny all rolled up into one play. A true feat.

  • 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.

    A beautiful play. Although there is sadness and grieving, there is so much hope. A great piece about moving on. Love, love, loved it!

  • 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.

  • Samantha Marchant: Persephone

    This script shifts with ease. I enjoyed the line about Persephone being a goddess and Jill being a nursery-rhyme character, it's packed with so much this play is about - fate, disappointment, motherhood, relationships. Great!
