Peru Drama Club will present Hadestown: Teen Edition on December 5th-6th with a cast of 15 students from grades 8 through 12.
The story of this musical follows the poor but hopeful young lovers Orpheus and Eurydice in a world grappling with hardship and doubt. When Eurydice is tempted by an offer of comfort and security, she signs away her life to work in the industrial Hadestown. Orpheus journeys to the underworld to win her back with the power of music and love.
Hadestown intertwines the Greek mythology of Orpheus and Eurydice with the story of King Hades and Persephone, set in a jazz-inspired, Depression-era-like world where the changing seasons depend on Persephone’s time on Earth.
