About Cain + Abel From The Wilbury Group's Playwright-in-Residence Ben Jolivet comes Cain + Abel, a fresh, contemporary take on a classic tale. In the shadow of the deserted garden, two brothers wrestle with faith and desire in the face of uncertainty and fear; two women struggle to find a place beyond the grossest instincts of men; and a lonely traveller grapples with his creation. Fighting their way into the unknown will demand everything from them and result in the ultimate sacrifice. In the beginning, nothing became something and nobody knew what to do. Written by The Wilbury Group's Playwright-in-Residence Ben Jolivet, Cain + Abel received a staged-reading as part of the 2014-15 New Works Staged-Reading Series."Ben Jolivet brings such an exciting, fresh voice to everything that he writes," says Wilbury Group Artistic Director Josh Short. "When we presented a staged-reading of Cain + Abel last year as part of our New Works Staged-Reading series, everyone was so excited to hear this classic tale come to life through Ben's incredibly unique voice. We're very proud to be able to present the world premiere of this play and I'm sure that in the hands of director Susie Schutt it'll make audiences re-think this story that they may think they already know."
