PROGRAM NOTES

Is it possible to be innocent after experiencing the history of the world?

“We started with a hostage situation. We started with questions of action and apathy. Suddenly there was too much action, and it was out of control. The work changed. The world changed.”

Adam and Eve have lost control of the wheel, driving through fire to reach the Garden of Eden. They arrive late to find a burnt out ruin, populated by ghosts. The airwaves are saturated with information that streams past their eyes and filters through their pores, evoking hysteria, hilarity and fear. They appeal – in the best sense of TV courtroom drama to be set free. How should their crimes be punished? The audience will decide …

Part warped Passion play, part Scout musical variety show, and part bleeding heart confessional, questions to ask yourself in face of others will unsettle and surprise.
