This article does not fit in with my traditional column, yet it does have a historical component and my editor felt that my Historically Speaking readers might enjoy it. With the traveling Broadway production ?Hadestown? currently crossing the nation, I thought I would make a few comments about the show. Most of all, I loved it. Amazing production on all levels. ?Hadestown? is a retelling of the Greek myths of Hades and Persephone as well as Orpheus and Eurydice.
