Sinner describes he works as \"A two-actor diptych that is a modern take on Adam and
Eve, trapped in various forms of a deteriorating Garden of Eden. First presented as
Brother and Sister (after all, Eve was \"created\" from Adam\'s rib; doesn\'t that make
them related?) in stylized white face, part gothic kabuki, part slapstick
vaudeville, living in their own isolated apocalyptic playground, the siblings play,
bicker, sing and dance as frantically as they can to ward off their own
psychological endgame. The second piece explores the couple as Husband and Wife,
with the wife\'s subconscious attempts to liberate herself from the classic \"Doll\'s
House\" Syndrome. She short circuits before us while delivering a monologue, sharing
her fantastical sexual yearnings and interior life while disconcerting voice-overs
and music cues bombard her as her husband snores.\"

The show is written and directed by Los Angeles native John Sinner, who is the
Producing Artistic Director of Theatre Revelation.

ReviewPlays.com wrote in April 2006 - \"John Sinner has been one of the prominent
exponents of surrealistic theatre in Los Angeles... Sinner is the kind of playwright
that goes for the throat-\"

John is a gay artist living with multiple sclerosis, who has had work performed at
REDCAT at Disney Hall, amongst others. Both works star Los Angeles Bay area native
Betsy Moore and John Sinner, in the modern Eve and Adam roles. Matt Richter, the
former Tech Director at Highways Performance Space in Santa Monica is the Lighting
and Sound Designer.

on the original, inventive and experimental, in order to reveal and illuminate our
human existence within the community and world at large.
