Press Quotes
“Before there was Eve there was Lilith. In his new play, LILITH, Allan Havis has placed Adam’s legendary first wife at the center of a parable about marriage. Springing Lilith loose in our age, the play is as devious as it is diabolical. The first act is in biblical times, the second in present-day New York, but the distinction is not intended to be clear-cut … Mr Havis weaves an intricate web of lustfulness and deceit … The sardonic language could have been written by a contemporary counterpart of the Swedish playwright [Strindberg] … As in his earlier plays, MINK SONATA and MOROCCO, Mr Havis shows a mordant wit, used this time to ask the question, who is Lilith and what is her fatal attraction.” —Mel Gussow, The New York Times
