Runaways and Conversations at the Return of Spring

Two wildly imaginative one act plays inspired by Greek tragedies and myths.
Five female fugitives fleeing episodes of patriarchal oppression congregate in a diner to share their stories. The Goddess Demeter and her Hades-banished daughter Persephone, reunite to confront the environmental degradation of the planet, across four different eras.
