READ THE REVIEW: Review: Theatre Conspiracy finds what makes couples tick in 'Searching for Eden'


In this romantic romp, the world's first lovers meet in paradise at the dawn of time and embark on an epic, exuberant battle of the sexes. One fall from grace and several thousand years later, the middle-aged couple returns to present-day Eden (now an upscale resort) attempting to recapture their primal passion. Crafted with lyrical language and ingenious imagery, Searching for Eden is a funny, tender testament to enduring love.


As one critic wrote about "Searching for Eden:" "In the beginning—and throughout the play—there was laughter. And the audience found it good." More than a hundred years after Mark Twain wrote his own short stories about Adam and Eve, James Still combines those stories for Act One of Searching for Eden, and then imagines Adam and Eve in the present day for Act Two to create this completely original and contemporary play about the world's first love story.
