Such sentiments are the glue that keeps couples together, through doom and worse. Such sentiments are what keep Rubin's latter-day Adam in the hospital and in her play, which is ultimately idealistic despite its macabre trappings.
The play knows that the world is a terrible place, and doesn't quite know what to do about it. It aches for the love between Romeo and Juliet to endure, to actually mean something in our world. Its intelligence is striking, its symbolism provocative, and its dramaturgy murky.
Director Mark Bringelson delivers an atmospheric and compelling production on a stage with a smoky subterranean cave — the morgue — and stairwells from the stage's main purgatorial level leading to Heaven above.

Rivera's Eve has a child-woman power, against which Seagrove's Adam comes off as a bit of a blowhard. Some of this may well be in the lines — his instant jealousy of Mo, for example. In one scene, Mo transports Eve to the Egyptian paradise where Anthony met Cleopatra.
This is a play that strives to hold the whole world in its hands. Therein lies its virtue, and its beauty.
