The Seven Pomegranate Seeds

Seven contemporary stories grounded in prominent, mythical origins.Persephone, Hypsipyle, Medea, Alcestis, Phaedra, Creusa and Demeter: the women of Euripides' plays are reimagined as people of today in an unexpected fusion of celebrity, inappropriate desires, historical police investigations and missing children.A severed maternal bond threads each story together, charting a journey through rage and redemption, towards a compelling conclusion.This revised edition of Colin Teevan's haunting monologue cycle was published to coincide with a new production at Rose Theatre, Kingston, in November 2021.
