Synopsis: 

This is the story of Mr and Mrs Antrobus, their children Henry and Gladys and their maid Sabina. They are simultaneously a typical American family living in a present-day New Jersey suburb and are also Adam, Eve, Lilith, Cain and a daughter who survive the Ice Age (although their pet dinosaurs do not), the Flood (as in the book of Genesis in the Bible) and War (as in WWII). Mr Antrobus invented the wheel and the brewing of beer and no matter what happens, is intent on saving the works of Shakespeare. Mrs. Antrobus invented the hem, the apron and "frying in oil", and would burn all the works of Shakespeare to keep her children from catching a cold. Henry/Cain is trying to memorize the multiplication tables and learn how to use his slingshot, Gladys loves her Daddy and can't keep her dress down, and Sabina just wants to get out of the kitchen and go to the movies.

BHTC NOTES: As reported in the press review (see below), this production seemed to involve the majority of the membership at that time, taking one, two or even three roles each!
