By re-imagining the Adam and Eve myth through the lens of Koranic additions and revisions, as well as modern conceptions of human love, this play adds Flint's voice to the voices of other, more established poets & playwrights--I'm thinking particularly of Zimmerman, Hughes, and Ruhl--who've taken ancient myths as their source text but made them so much more.
Excellent performances under strong direction.
Recommend.
