CAIN
A Mystery
By Lord Byron
Adapted by Ryan Kenney and Ramona Rotten
Directed by Ryan Kenney
Produced by Ramona Rotten
“I live, But live to die; and, living, see no thing To make death hateful, save an innate clinging, A loathsome, and yet all invincible Instinct of life, which I abhor, as I Despise myself, yet cannot overcome— And so I live.”
This proto-absurdist closet drama explores the futility of life, as seen through the eyes of Cain whose struggles with the inevitability of death consume him with existential despair. This play challenges traditional beliefs about morality and the nature of God, offering a provocative examination of the absurdity of human existence and the surreal cycle of life and death.
