Mythic is inspired by the Ancient Greek myth of Persephone, Queen of the Underworld and Goddess of Spring, Flowers and Vegetation. Set in a world where Olympian celebrities reign supreme, Persephone struggles to live up to her mother Demeter’s expectations and instead seeks to forge her own path. But soon her quest for independence leads her to the Underworld with bad boy rebel Hades. What follows is an outlandish and emotionally thought-provoking musical fit for both ancient and modern times.
Mythic A New Musical is directed and choreographed by Sarah O’Gleby and features lighting by Jamie Platt, musical direction by Chris Ma, sound by Andrew Johnson, a book and lyrics by Marcus Stevens (Yo, Vikings! and Persephone Unplugged) and music by Oran Eldor (Shakespeare in America and The Great American Mousical).
Mythic premieres at the Charing Cross Theatre on 1 October 2018 and is currently booking until 24 November 2018.
