The Next Door: One Act Play Season

4 One Act Plays

Lilith is commonly known as Adam's first wife. In patriarchal mythology, she's conveniently been cast as the Fallen Woman - banished from the Garden of Eden, replaced by Eve, and branded throughout his-story as being difficult. Her crime? She refused to be domesticated by Adam....and 'other things'. After thousands of years, Lilith has grown tiresome with this version of the story. Besides, she's come to the 'End of the Line' and insists it's time to 'set the record straight'. The  adventurous Lilith need only reincarnate one last time - to fulfill a contract made long ago - and finally set herself free. An absurd story of the necessity for reinvention.

Sofia: Step into Sofia’s World.  Sofia is a beautiful woman with a troubled past who also happens to be the owner of a local pub. Now in the twilight of her life, she reminisces with those who come to visit her after closing time about her regrets, lost hopes, and her greatest tragedy. This play will pluck at your heartstrings and invites you to watch Sofia find a way to be free at last.
