Dyad Productions: The Diaries of Adam and Eve (Three, Assembly George Square, 23/08)

Adapted by Elton Townend Jones from Mark Twain's humorous imaginings of the encounter between Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and the building of their subsequent relationship.  Elton and Rebecca Vaughan play their parts to perfection, keeping the action and the dialogue sharp and truly engaging the audience.   The play explores, in a very accessible way, companionship, its challenges and consolations, and has some really moving moments in among the laughs and smiles.

The set and the props are simple and effective and it would be easy to see this working well in a village hall setting and across the whole age range.
