The Diaries of Adam & Eve is a romantic adventure for the ages....
This production is a romantic adventure for the ages, an utterly engaging piece of work that will have you laughing throughout the production. A simply made stage with a stellar cast, it tells the story of the beginning of time and the hardship we have with the meeting of two ‘completely’ different minds that are man & woman, Adam & Eve.
A perfect night for single friends to get together or if your thinking of a date, it could be the one to break the ice. Come along for this seriously funny night out at Riverbank Arts Centre and warm yourself up for the season ahead.
Relationships: whose idea was that?
One of you wants to get things done, the other wants to chill out in the garden. One of you wants a minute’s peace, the other wants to talk (and talk and talk). One of you likes things the way they are, the other wants a project. One of you knows that eating that apple is the wrong thing to do, but the other is going to eat it anyway.
Relationships shouldn’t work, but somehow they do – so who did the groundwork?
In this witty and modern adaptation of Mark Twain’s affectionate satire, Adam and Eve – the world’s first couple – confront their many differences to find successful ways of living and loving together. Whether they’re creating language, inventing fire, taming nature, or discovering love and death, what they learn about each other on the way will be familiar and funny to anyone who has ever experienced a close relationship.
Tempted?
Book a ticket for this show and get another at half price with our new ticket bundle scheme: A Taste of Theatre Ticket lets you purhcase a ticket for The Dairies of Adam & Eve and a ticket for My Brilliant Divorce for only €23.00. Enjoy two nights out with one ticket!
Monday Night Movies get off to a great start this week....

The Teetotallers, with Martin Hayes, Kevin Crawford & John Doyle are here on Wednesday night. It is a once off gig with an outstanding line up featuring three giants of the trad scene in Ireland.
The Diaries of Adam and Eve is one that I cannot wait to see a witty and charming production about the beginning of Man & Woman - have we moved on from those early days? Who knows?
We'll look forward to seeing you this week at the Riverbank Arts Centre.
