East of Eden

by John Steinbeck
Adapted by Frank Galati

Directed by Evan Hoffmann

Classic Drama

A beautiful new adaptation of John Steinbeck’s iconic novel asks if it is possible to escape the mistakes of previous generations and choose your own course.

East of Eden is a re-imagining of the saga of Adam and Eve, and their sons Cain and Abel. Adam Trask is determined to build a new life and world for himself and his young wife, Cathy. Settling in California's Salinas Valley, Cathy gives birth to twin boys. But a dark past, the seemingly inescapable sins of man (and woman), and the impending danger of World War I threaten their little corner of paradise. It is an American epic examining whether "good versus evil" is our great choice or our unavoidable fate.
