In the Garden of Adam and Steve 

This irreverent comedy inspired by Paradise Lost asks a few delicious questions: What if Adam and Eve didn’t actually like each other? What if free will truly worked? And what happens when the characters in the world’s oldest story decide to follow their own path?

It all begins with a bet. Lucifer, bored out of his skull, wagers God that free will is a cosmic joke—that anyone, given a real choice, will sabotage their own life within a week. God, in a moment of weakness, accepts. The script is drafted. Adam is paired with Eve. The serpent slithers into the spotlight. The apple gets its close‑up. And chaos immediately ensues.

Then Adam does the one thing the story never planned for: he asks God for a friend, not a wife. God creates Steve. Beyond the garden wall, Eve encounters someone who was never meant to exist at all. And weaving through the mayhem are Sin and Death—Lucifer’s teenage kids and, by their own account, the founders of heavy metal—touring paradise and stirring trouble wherever they go.

Funny, heartfelt, and unapologetically queer, In the Garden of Adam and Steve is a romantic comedy about loving all people, regardless of sexual orientation or origin—and a reminder that the best stories are the ones we choose for ourselves.
