In the Garden of Adam and Steve: A Queer Comedy After Milton

In the Garden of Adam and SteveThis irreverent comedy inspired by Paradise Lost asks a few delicious questions: What if Adam and Eve didn't actually like each other? What if free will actually worked? What happens when the characters decide to follow their own path?It all begins with a bet. Lucifer, bored out of his skull, wagers God that free will is a cosmic joke and that anyone, given a real choice, will sabotage their own life within a week. God, in a moment of weakness, takes the wager. The script is drafted. Adam is paired with Eve. The serpent slithers into the spotlight. The apple gets its close-up. And chaos immediately ensues.Then Adam does the one thing the script never planned: he asks God for a friend, not a wife. God creates Steve. Beyond the garden wall, Eve encounters someone who was never meant to exist at all. And weaving through the chaos are Sin and Death-Lucifer's teenage kids, and, by their own account, the founders of heavy metal music-touring paradise.Funny, heartfelt, and unapologetically queer, In the Garden of Adam and Steve is a romantic comedy about loving all people, regardless of sexual orientation or origin-and proof that the best stories are the ones we choose for ourselves.
