    A unique take on Greek mythology that left me feeling so hopeful by the end.

    This is truly one of the most inspired plays I have read. This play feels like it was plucked from my dreams of trying to justify my abusive exes and my own queer journey. Beautifully done.

    A beautiful, lyrical myth retelling. We love a happy queer ending!!!! Kaia has done a lovely job with texture, language, and character in her play. The imagery in the work is lush and gorgeous. A stunning play from a writer you'll want to follow.

    I read and participated in a workshop of this play at the 2019 Sewanee Writers' Conference. What strikes me about Lyons' work is the balance between source (Greek mythology) and contemporary narrative. This play's rich language works on so many levels, engagingly lyrical in one moment, and arrestingly matter of fact in the next. Lyons has a huge capacity for storytelling, and this reframing of the Persephone story is compelling and resonant. It evokes thoughtful conversation, and this artist should be on producers' radars.
