On Monday 5th of May, I had the absolute pleasure of attending a presentation of the music from the upcoming production of Persephone, starring the wonderful Wendy Rule.

The story is told by Wendy through her beautiful singing of songs from the points of view of the Triple Goddess - Persephone (or Kore, in her maiden aspect), Demeter (the mother) and Hecate (the crone) - as Persephone makes her descent into the Underworld.  The music was played by two incredibly talented women, Elissa Goodrich on percussion, and Rachel Samuel on cello, and of course Wendy's voice was amazing.

The sound was mesmerising and almost haunting, and the dramatic aspect of the production was seen through Wendy's wonderful movement and dancing - you could tell she was really loving her time there!

After the show, Wendy came out to the bar to meet the attendees - she ensured she made time for every single person in the room, and signed CDs for those purchasing them.  As I introduced myself to Wendy, she stood agast at the fact that it was funny we were both in the same city, but came together through the podcast interview Serenity took with Wendy.
