New York: Broadway Play Publishing Inc.. Near Fine. 1991. First Edition. Softcover. [nice clean copy, virtually as new with just a tiny trace of wear at a couple of corners]. Trade PB "Before there was Eve there was Lilith. In his new play, Alan 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." One critic (quoted on the back cover) stated: "As in his earlier plays, Havis presents two contrasting but inseparable images of women: here, he plays on the old virgin-whore theme. No question, he does it masterfully." .
