The Tragedy Of Obi Wan Kenobi
TEASE: Unit LLT
Unit LLT:
Character: Lilith (Unit LLT) On the first day, Elihu created automata. Male and female he created them, even though everyone knows automata don't actually have genders. Lilith, the female automata, is given as an assistant to Elihu's wife Sarah. Instead of housework, Sarah introduces Lilith to the world of women's suffrage, equal rights, and subversive mechanicals. When Elihu tries to put another automaton, Adam, in charge of Lilith, she must choose between living in Paradise as only half herself or taking her chances on the unknown world outside. About TEASE: TEASE (The Easy Access Script Experience) invites Artistic Directors from local theatre companies, as well as the public, to see your work and provide a venue for networking after the performance. The evening consists of scenes that have been directed and rehearsed by a team of artists with input from the playwright. Our goal is for artists and producers to make the kind of connections that will lead to performances in the community. |
