Mark Twain’s The Diaries of Adam and Eve
Edited and Adapted for the Stage by David Birney
David Birney’s entertaining adaptation is the portrait of two very unusual people, those first lovers who met under rather complicated circumstances and found a way to build a life together. Written through the eyes of America’s greatest humorist, Mark Twain’s story set within the Garden of Eden bursts with wit, laughter, and the lyric poignance of the first love and the first loss, taking audiences on a delightful journey of self-discovery and exploration.
“Sharp and resourceful...played with freshness and theatricality...charming.” – Variety
Legacy is partnering with the Mark Twain House and Museum for the production, and the team at the Twain House will present a talkback in collaboration with the theatre on Thursday, June 13 following the 7pm performance. Performance attendees are welcome to stay after that evening’s show to learn more about Twain and his wife, Livy, as well as the history of Mark Twain’s The Diaries of Adam and Eve, concluding with a Q&A with audience members.
