Short irreverent one act play about the creation of Adam, Eve and the garden of Eden.
God has some difficult decisions to make and Adam is no help; what is required is a woman…and then the trouble starts!
Read an extract here:
CURTAINS OPEN TO DARK QUIET STAGE , BACK SCENE CONSISTING OF WOODLAND GLADE WITH ONE TREE PROMINENT IN THE CENTRE.
RUMBLE OF THUNDER IS HEARD FOLLOWED BY A FLASH OF LIGHTNING AND ADAM STAGGERS ONTO STAGE FROM THE LEFT.
HE IS DRESSED IN A FLESH COLOURED BODY SUIT AND A LARGE FIG LEAF IS STRATEGICALLY PLACED OVER HIS GENITALS.
HE GAZES ABOUT AND FINALLY LOOKS UP AT THE SKY.
ADAM: Ok. ok, so you want to speak…no need to make such a fuss and nonsense about it all the time , just a quiet word in the ear would do.
AN ETHEREAL COMMANDING VOICE IS HEARD APPARENTLY FROM ABOVE
GOD: Man ! I have created thee in mine own image
ADAM: For goodness sake , my name is ADAM , you should know !
GOD: Thy name is of little consequence in the overall scheme of things
ADAM: Oh please , not another lecture on what a wonderful creature you are and how you’re going to guide the world to great things
GOD: My plans for this tiny microcosm are beyond thy puny comprehension mortal
ADAM: So much for creating me in your own image
GOD: Thou hast mine physical attributes ……
LOOKS DOWN AT HIS FIG LEAF
ADAM: You were at the end of the queue too then
