The prose writer Pela Soultatou makes her debut in playwriting with her first standalone work The Apple of Adam, following her participation in collective volumes featuring works such as The Amazons Always Return and Horses.
In the one-act play The Apple of Adam, Eri seems to be preparing, with the help of her mother, to celebrate her last day of single life, as she will marry, against her will, Herr Miltenberger, a wealthy elderly Swiss man, the next day. Her mother Eva is an impressive and distinguished woman, in contrast to her daughter, who appears to be overwhelmed by her experiences, sidelined in the shadow of Eva and her three friends.
“Two dominant characteristics of the work are that the one-act play draws its inspiration from Fassbinder's play Bremer Freiheit (Freedom in Bremen) and that the author, for the performance of her play, set a ‘necessary condition’: the dramatic characters of the mother and the heroine’s friends should be embodied by the same actress – the same dominant figure with different masks, each representing broad social structures where dominant females control women and children according to the pattern of patriarchal ideology,” as noted in the Afterword by Assistant Professor at EKPA Katerina Diakumopoulou.
