Ten women. Ten stories. A history of mistakes. The Apple and Other Slip-Ups 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.
