Breakdown

SYNOPSIS: The Apple depicts ten important women in history - real and imaginary - beginning with the mother of all slip-ups: Eve and her Forbidden Fruit. The musical travels forward through time, showing key moments from the lives of such female forerunners as Joan of Arc, Pandora, the Virgin Mary, Rapunzel, and Lassie. Each song is a glimpse into each woman's struggle: the pain she endures and the lesson she learns, all to be passed on to the next in line.

Apples eaten. Seeds planted. Lessons learned.

WOMAN
25-35 - Must be able to portray every woman, lived and invented: Eve, Eva Braun, and Marilyn Monroe to name a few. Can play the innocent teenager as well as the world-weary movie star.

MAN
30-45 - Slightly sinister, he is the man in control. He begins the show as the devil, but transforms into whatever figure is needed to seduce/torture the woman.
