Hadestown Auditions
Hadestown Auditions
Hadestown is the last stop on the railroad track to hell: the Underworld. In the Underworld, Hades is king and Persephone is his bride who spends half her time in Hadestown and the other half walking among the mortals above Hadestown.
As the stories of Orpheus and Eurydice, Persephone and Hades unfold, we get the sense that Hadestown (like the rest of the world) is changing. Spring is gone, the sun doesn’t shine, and it’s getting hotter and hotter, which is quite the tragedy for this industrialised underworld where the residents must keep their heads low and industrialising more and more; it is becoming a world of oil drums and automobiles, electric grids and fossil-burning furnaces. Hades is the king of industry and Hadestown is his kingdom.
So why would someone give their soul to such a place?
After all, as Hermes tells us, ‘Those who go there don’t come back.’
