SOLOMON PLAY


GENESIS (Comic Adaption - NOT a Mystery Dinner Play)
Based on: Genesis
Cast Breakdown: 3 male, 2 female (or as many people as you can gather)
Setting : In the Beginning...
Synopsis : A crazy ride through the wildest book ever written. Using slapstick comedy, role-swapping and interpretive dance, five actors sprint through the book of Genesis. This play was written as an introduction for children (so a few things had to be left out), and a fun refresher course for adults. It's been produced at Sarah Lawrence College and the Episcopal Diocese of Western New York Sleep-away Camp.
