The Spring and Fall of Eve Adams
Set Design by Mark Marcante Featuring The Spring and Fall of Eve Adams recounts the true story of an extraordinary woman, a Jewish lesbian from Poland, who was proprietor of “Eve’s Hangout” at 129 Macdougal Street in1926, a tearoom where local poets, musicians and actors congregated to meet and share their work in salon evenings. Eve’s Hangout, a haven of artistic and sexual freedom, was soon threatened by religious and governmental authorities, leading to Eve’s arrest, imprisonment and deportation. The conflict between progressive and reactionary forces provides the dramatic tension in the play as the characters attempt to live and love free from discrimination. The play conveys not only a long forgotten moment in history but sheds light on current threats by holding a mirror to the past.
