Overview

Adam's Run, a new video opera by Ruby Fulton and Baynard Woods, is a dark comedy which takes place in a dystopic future world, amidst chaotic and extreme weather, where two television show hosts vie for the most viewed program in America. Despite their ideological differences, existentialist weather woman Julie Shore (Elisabeth Halliday) and environmentalist evangelist the Reverend Billy Noble (Robert Maril) fall in love.
