About the play:

The onset of World War 3 forces a select few to live underground in top
secret bunkers. Adam, a nuclear scientist who has been drafted into a
noncombat military position, is struggling to cope with the loneliness of
his subterranean life. His budding relationship with Marie is changing
that, but he worries what will happen when they return to above ground. The
Temptation of Adam is a reflection on the toll that isolation takes on our
lives and relationships, and what we might do when we are desperate for
human connection. This is a fully staged workshop production of a new play.

Key dates:

March 11. Performances are the evenings of March 14, 15, and 16 (three
