Medieval drama is not what you think. That is the premise behind the University of Illinois Department of Theatre and the Spurlock Museum's presentation of a staged reading of the twelfth century French play, The Play of Adam, newly translated by Professor Carol Symes and directed by Kyle A. Thomas. This play is more than a simple dramatic retelling of the Biblical story of Adam and Eve; rather it highlights the humor and fear of being human, the tragedy of losing what you love, and the yearning and hope for a better future. Full of fast paced dialogue, tongue-in-cheek humor, and audience interaction, The Play of Adam brings to life a world that exists independent of any time period. After all, medieval drama and The Play of Adam is not what you think. Download a performance flyer below.
