The Serpent explores the human condition by relating events from the Book of Genesis to modern experiences and contemporary human sentiments. The play examines the human battle between self-gratification and obedience to external authority by conjuring questions of choice, freedom, fear, love, hatred, violence, guilt, and dreams of a lost paradise. This production experimented with theatrical techniques that included ensemble characterization, physical pastiche, transformational acting, videography, repetition, and postmodern imagery.
