Join us for the staged reading series presented during the Philadelphia Women's Theatre Festival's 10th Season, this August! EDEN 2.0
By Kimberly Shimer
Sunday, August 11th, 3pm
About the show:
According to the biblical story in Genesis, Eve cursed both herself and Adam when she insisted he try the fruit from the forbidden tree in the Garden of Eden. But what if, in fact, Adam was to blame? What if a lie and a supposed video glitch wrongly convicted Eve, leading to millennia of gender inequality? Can a present-day intern at the Command Center in "Almost Heaven, West Virginia" make things right?
