Headless in Eden

A Scene from the Café of No Tomorrows

Synopsis

Enter the Café of No Tomorrows – a world of shadows and mirrors, a menu of surprises and a waiter with attitude.  Add a man and a woman, hungry musicians searching for the right key.
Stir them up with a pinch of humour and a touch of the blues. Let them stew in the Garden as long as it takes to be tender.

“In my Eden, I’ll hear my own voice, not yours.  I’ll quarrel with myself.”
“Maybe I’ll visit?”
“You wouldn’t like it.”

Audience Responce

“Reminds me of Becket with more humour.”

“I didn’t understand it, but I did shed a tear.”

Published Reviews

it explored the Genesis themes through multi-layered text, Ionescu-style dialogue usually sparse but occasionally volcanic, symbolic allusion and cabaret-style music.

… John Simpson’s memorably vivid waiter, and Robert Williamson and Corinne Harris strongly yet nuanced as Adam and Eve, made this Eden a thought-provoking drama.
