"Espey renders a dozen or so characters with great specificity in the seamless progression to the conclusion of this beautiful story, and invites his audience, as Adam invited his classroom, to live like adults with ambiguity. The result is one of the best shows in the Capital Fringe"
-- Tim Treanor, dctheatrereviews.com

Adam is a Biology teacher whose job is on the line as he tries to navigate the stormy waters between Creationism and Evolution. One actor plays Adam as well as fourteen other characters he encounters in his journey, including an exacto-knife wielding student, an apocalypse-obsessed Aussie astronomer, and a mysterious 18th century German woman who's really an optical illusion.
