Theatre Bristol brings the original love story, “Mark Twain’s The Diaries of Adam and Eve,” to the ARTspace stage in time for Valentine’s, Feb. 14-18. Tickets are on sale for this touching ARTScene comedy at theatrebristol.org, with daily evening and a Sunday matinee performance.
“’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, played by James Francis. Eve, played by Mary Ellis Rice wryly notes among her pages, “It tapers like a carrot. I think it is a man.”
Amy Reid, Hunter James, and Richard Albright are also cast in the production that has performances scheduled throughout the year. Visit www.theatreBristol.org/tickets for all the dates.
Directing 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 Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday at 2:30 p.m. at Theatre Bristol’s ARTspace stage, Bristol, Tennessee. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students and seniors, plus processing fees, available online at theatrebristol.org/tickets and at the door.
