Theatre Bristol brings an, well, the original love story, Mark Twain’s The Diaries of Adam and Eve, to the ARTspace stage in time for Valentine’s, Feb. 9-14. Tickets are now on sale for this touching ARTScene comedy at theatrebristol.org, with weekend and weekday evening and matinee performances.
“Mark Twain’s The Diaries of Adam and Eve, is a uniquely American theatre piece, funny, beautiful, and deeply moving. David Birney has crafted a light-hearted look at the world’s first love story through the eyes of America’s greatest humorist, Mark Twain, whose Garden of Eden bursts with wit, laughter and the lyric poignance of the first love and the first loss” (Concord Theatricals).
”I get no chance to name anything myself. The new creature names everything that comes along, before I can get in a protest,” protests Adam, played by James Francis. Eve, played by Mary Ellis Rice wryly notes among her pages, “It tapers like a carrot. I think it is a man.”
Directing Mark Twain’s The Diaries of Adam & Eve is long-time Theatre Bristol veteran director and actor, Chris McVey. Chris is supported by stage manager Nicole Intagliata, assistant stage manager Sarah McCall King, and producer Samantha Gray, along with Theatre Bristol crew.
