Video

So There's a few different plays of "The Creation of Adam and Eve", but I found the video above, and I'm all about having a good laugh at things and this video really captures what you need to know along with throwing a few curveballs and bundles of laughter. Below is a more informative video of the true stories of Adam and Eve and how the story doesn't fit very well in the bible, but gets you to know a little bit more about what is going on in that time.

Primary Document

for my primary document, I am using the Bible, though the Bible is an unciteable source, it still is important to see where this play's plot has originated.

I'm using the King James version of the Bible, and I say which version because there's like eight (Hyperbole) different versions of the Bible, so I want to try to cite my source for you as best as possible.

In King James The story of Adam and Eve is in the Book of Genesis Chapter 1:26 through 3:24
, and from the looks of the actual written story, the play is a near exact replication of the Bible chapters. Though in the Bible verses it talks more about the complete creation of the universe, but mostly just Earth, finishing up with the creation of Adam and Eve.

Scholarly Article

The reason that I'm using this Scholarly Article is because it talks a lot about how the plays during advent, the weeks leading up to Christmas, were very religious, which also happens to be the main theme for York Plays. And I believe that they somehow have a wild connection in the sense that the York Plays may have flourished during advent. And though the York plays were most likely NOT performed in the small northern French town Laon. The town could of used the York Plays as inspiration, because Laon's advent is significantly altered versions of other towns works. they revamped the advent calendar to make a more proficient schedule and their plays were something to behold.
