    This is s smart short comedy that plays on familiar stories we know from Genesis with some clever word play. For as play about religion that delves in what many cite as the origin of gender distinction, it felt inclusive and comical all at once. That’s a tough balance that pays off in the end!

    Comedy is fun (or "hard"?). Satire is even better. Especially when it's done skillfully. And with brevity. Which is its soul. Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn's "Adam's Angels" is satisfying in every way. And the fact that she was able to pull it off speaks volumes to her talent. A great read which I'm sure will be served better in performance.

    ADAM'S ANGELS is an entertaining piece of farce, rewriting the creation of man. I loved the use of Genesis story elements in a completely novel way. I laughed out loud.

Zadkiel………………. male or female. The angel in charge of angelic duties.
Eve……………………female angel. The image of innocence.
Steve………………….male angel. The image of artistic pretentiousness.
Lucy…………………..female angel. The image of savage ambition.
Sam……………………male or female angel. The image of strength.
Adam…………………..male. In fact, the first male. A bit dimmer than most.
Various other angels if casting permits.
