Adam & Eve…and Steve (Musical)
Posted in: Drama & Theatre, Reviews Tags: comedy, Musical, Theatre

It’s just as well in previous incarnations the Kings Head Theatre, the first pub theatre since Shakespeare’s day, was once used as a boxing ring because the near fisticuffs that follow when Adam is being fought over by Eve and his camp ‘best friend forever’ Steve, might have called for a return to the pugilistic […]

This pseudo-historical figure was mentioned in Geoffrey of Monmouth’s History of the Kings of Britain. So […]
