    Bavoso is such a clever, confident, and witty writer, and "The Morning After the Fall" showcases these qualities to great effect. I had the privilege of producing the piece for Whiskey Theatre Factory's 2021 reading, which was a huge success and elicited both big laughs and knowing sighs from the audience during its bittersweet beats. I would highly recommend this piece for any short play festival.

    The story we never knew, just another thing Eve ruined! Turns out Steve will be better off! Well done.

    Clever, sassy, and funny from beginning to end! Filled with echoes of Paul Rudnick and other great LGBT comedy writers, John Bavoso's nifty comedic voice lends itself nicely to this hilarious take on the classic Bible tale. Read it (better yet, PRODUCE it) and laugh out loud!
