A farcical retelling of Genesis, BACK TO THE GARDEN attempts
to answer the question, “Why would God put forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden if He was just going to get pissed
off if Adam and Eve ate it?” Follow Adam and Eve as they get expelled from the Garden, learn to fend for themselves
in the Wilderness that lies beyond, and discover the truth about God’s power—and their own.
