This one-act comedy retells the myth in which Hades, god of death, kidnaps Persephone, goddess of life and spring. But while Persephone is usually presented as the sad-eyed queen of the underworld, here she is a happy breath of spring that makes life glitter wherever she is—even in Hades. In addition to the comic conflicts surrounding the situation, there is a deeper theme of the relation of life and death. This coupling is significant, since life and death are in fact inseparable, and in this insoluble link, there is also a hint of the nature of real love.
