Original Sin by Peter Gill
Peter Gill's Original Sin is a striking adaptation of Frank Wedekind's Earth Spirit and D. C. Holmes's Pandora's Box. Popularly known as the Lulu plays they were notorious in the early 1900s. In Original Sin, Gill makes 'Lulu' into a gay man, who, as in the original, destroys a series of representative bourgeois males through his uninhibited but essentially innocent enjoyment of sex. It will be premiered at the Sheffield Crucible.
Peter Gill was born in 1939 in Cardiff and started his professional career as an actor. A director as well as a writer, he has directed over a hundred productions in the UK, Europe and North America.
