This month at The Hidden Bookcase, we’re reading Greek mythology retellings! Our second read is Hadestown by Anaïs Mitchell, chosen by Overly Sarcastic Productions' Red. Let's talk liminality, lighting, and looking back.

Content warnings: References to loss, grief, famine and starvation, death and sucidality, hypothermia, and dubious consent/coercion, capitalistic exploitation, and Donald Trump. Joking references to beheading and dismemberment.

Transcripts available at planarprod.com/the-hidden-bookcase-transcripts
