ADONIS

A new play by John Steele Jr.
To benefit The Brain & Behavior Research Foundation


"Adonis" centers around a young psychiatrist, Andrew Conners, and his experiences with his first patient, Adonis. It brings the audience into the world of the play, treating them as guests at Adonis' funeral, and through Conners' memories and narration, takes them back into the facility where Adonis lived. As Conners treats Adonis, he finds himself entangled in a medical conspiracy that enshrouds Adonis’ history and the history of the entire treatment facility. Focusing on the lasting impression that Adonis leaves on those he comes into contact with, as it races to its conclusion, “Adonis” asks the question: to what degree do we have the influence and the right to change the lives of those around us?
