Abstract
Demeter's Daughter presents the journey of a writer from the germ of an idea to the rehearsed reading of the play by professional performers. It deals with the way in which a mythological subject is approached from a feminist point of view, and with the strategies used to tap the resources of the unconscious and dream in order to find an appropriate theatrical language and form. The writer describes her struggle to avoid stereotypes of both male and female varieties, and to achieve a positive image of the daughter, a silent or invisible figure in much of the available literature. She also confronts the realities of the theatrical process today, within current economic, political and aesthetic constraints.
