Love,
marriage, children, career, success; Adam and Eve have it
all. Life has been a fairytale so far. It's fifteen years
later, a humid summer night on an idyllic summer resort. Adam
and Eve are colleagues, architects, and have just spent the
day in a long meeting to negotiate a big contract. They’ve
just returned to their luxurious hotel suite, happy and slightly
tipsy, talking in excited tones about a contract they are
about to sign. The night is humid and the air still. In the
distance there is a storm. They continue to talk, light banter,
high from the buzz. The mood changes. The banter turns sour.
A few words and a little too much wine, a still night and
a pending storm: both can change everything beyond recognition.
Emotions soar and the fairytale turns into a nightmare.

...there were a lot of laughs and knowing
looks elicited from the couples in the audience. There is definitely
a market for this, particularly if you like a round-trip analysis
of coupledom peppered with the middle-class subtext found in
‘battle of the sexes’ plays...
THE STAGE
....the script is certainly engaging...Ilopoulos has
a gift for unexpected humour...
