Persephone: A Play for Schools returns an uncluttered telling of a foundational myth, made ready for rehearsal halls and school audiences. A compact drama for classrooms. As a school drama script it moves with clear, teachable rhythms, inviting students into a mythological retelling for students that prizes clarity over spectacle. Drawn from the Persephone and Hades myth and staged with an ancient Greece setting in mind, it functions as a classical theatre adaptation suited to educational stage performance: short scenes, tangible cues and language that young performers can inhabit. Its modest scenic demands and adaptable casting make it equally at home as an in-class reading, a pared-back production, or a festival piece for young ensembles. Teachers seeking plays for middle school will value its pragmatic economy; directors and drama groups will appreciate how the text doubles as a classroom literature resource and as an entry point to Greek storytelling and ritual. Placed within the early twentieth century drama tradition, this play reflects how classical material was reimagined for modern schooling and amateur theatre, and it helps illuminate period attitudes to myth and moral instruction. It pairs well with anthology readings and serves as a practical companion to Edith Hamilton's retellings for classroom use; a helpful anchor among Greek myths for teachers and enthusiasts alike. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Casual readers will find an accessible, engaging text for evening reading or study; classic-literature collectors, school libraries and specialist drama archives will recognise it as a collectable artefact of pedagogical theatre and the ongoing appeal of a Greek mythology play. Whether read aloud in class, staged in a school hall, or shelved alongside classic retellings, this play rewards close reading and cooperative performance. Its economy and moral clarity encourage discussion as much as dramatic practice, making it an effective teaching tool.
