Original Sin

by Peter Gill

Peter Gill's Original Sin is a striking adaptation of Frank Wedekind's Earth Spirit and D. C. Holmes's Pandora's Box. Popularly known as the Lulu plays they were notorious in the early 1900s. In Original Sin, Gill makes 'Lulu' into a gay man, who, as in the original, destroys a series of representative bourgeois males through his uninhibited but essentially innocent enjoyment of sex. It will be premiered at the Sheffield Crucible.
