The Apple Tree

We saw the Roundabout Theater production of 'The Apple Tree' last night. It is a unique show featuring three one-act musicals about men, women and a little thing called temptation. The Apple Tree is based on "The Diary of Adam and Eve" (detailing the goings-on in Eden) by Mark Twain; "The Lady or the Tiger?" by Frank R. Stockton; and "Passionella" by Jules Feiffer, with additional book material by Jerome Coopersmith.

It was very entertaining, not heavy or serious, but good fun. Just right for the season. We've been subscribers to Roundabout Theater for a number of years and have found their productions uneven. This is the first of this season and hopefully indicative of the remaining ones. We're seeing the next one, Heartbreak House tonight so we'll know.
