Exterior Set
Originally broadcast on American Playhouse, this delightful
adaptation is set in a Victorian garden and is structured as a
series of diary entries by Adam and Eve. The play also works as a
reader's theatre piece. At first, Adam is puzzled by the new
arrival in the garden and he is suspicious of her disturbing
appetite for fruit. Eve, believing herself to be some sort of
experiment, is curious about another experiment in the garden,
perhaps some sort of reptile or possibly architecture. Eve gives
names to everything, much to Adam's annoyance. He tries to ignore
her, so she seeks companionship among the animals particularly with
a certain snake. Adam and Eve grow to love each other and, in the
end, an elderly Adam is filled with a realization of that love as
he stands at Eve's grave. "Sharp and resourceful...played with
freshness and theatricality....charming." -Variety..".endearing...a
reminder of Twain's storytelling genius and how much fun it can
be...flavorful as apple cider, pungent, ironic." -The Los Angeles
Times"Mark Twain isn't just for Hal Holbrook anymore. David Birney
brings Mark Twain's words to life...in a romantic adventure for the
ages." -Times Union, Albany, NY
