Adam Reborn
Adam Reborn is an allegory for the stage. It uses the Biblical symbols of Adam and Eve to tell the story of man’s relationship with God.
In this story, Adam and Eve are young and heroic people learning to deal with a Paradise and a God that are hostile to them. There is no chance of life and everything that is natural to them is cut off, given no chance for fruition.
They sense this; they feel the vacuum in their souls, and they are uncertain as to how to deal with it. The man/woman relationship suffers as it must under such strains; independence is too essential to it. How they deal with it is the message of this allegory.

Is this the Face that Launched a Thousand Ships?
It was love at first sight. I saw her one day while watching a television program about King Tut, the boy King of Egypt whose tomb had been discovered by Howard Carter years before. I was looking at the famous bust of a beautiful Egyptian Queen. Her elegant face, long neck and stunning eyes exemplified human perfection of the highest order.
Who was she? What was her life? How did she live? Who did she love and what were her deepest thoughts?
All of these questions represented mysteries to solve. Her beauty had inspired these questions; men could not help thinking that the mystery represented eternal truths that have haunted humanity for millennia.
Was this the face that launched a thousand ships? Was she Helen of Troy?
