About this event
In this new series of tales from Ancient Greece, children will enter a miniature world full of exciting adventures, with the battered insect Hope as their guide.
Hope journeys into the world of Ancient Greece to escape Pandora's Box, warn King Midas of his greed, seek Persephone in the Underworld and help Theseus to defeat the Minotaur.
In this second tale, we discover how the changing seasons came to be when Persephone didn't come home one day.
The online plays are available on YouTube.
