Theatre Bristol brings the original love story “Mark Twain’s The Diaries of Adam and Eve” to the ARTspace stage in year-long weekend ARTScene performances. Choice of show dates and tickets for this touching ARTScene comedy are available at www.TheatreBristol.org.
“’Mark Twain’s The Diaries of Adam and Eve’ is a uniquely American theater 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,” says 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. Eve wryly notes among her pages, “It tapers like a carrot. I think it is a man.”
James Francis, Mary Ellis Rice, Amy Reid, Hunter James, Natasha Parton Snyder and Richard Albright bring a different show to the stage each time as they alternate roles throughout the year.
Directing “Mark Twain’s The Diaries of Adam & Eve” is long-time Theatre Bristol veteran director and actor, Chris McVey. McVey is supported by stage manager Sarah McCall King and producer Samantha Gray, along with Theatre Bristol crew.
Performances are at 7:30 p.m. at the Theatre Bristol ARTspace, Bristol, Tennessee, on various Friday and Saturday evenings in May, July, August, September and October. Visit the website for specific dates and to make reservations. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students and seniors, plus processing fees, available online at theatrebristol.org/tickets and at the door.
