Abstract
  • Eva Nightingale, an original screenplay, is a retelling of the Garden of Eden myth set in modern times and seen from Eve's point of view. The script centers on life after Eden, life after trespass and loss, when Eva (like Eve before her) must choose between despair and hope, self-destruction and self-creation. A painter, Eva initially refuses to make this choice, preferring to take refuge in a variety of strange behaviors and volatile relationships that distract her from the pain of her losses. This unwillingness to simply face the truth causes great suffering in Eva, however, as well as in those who love her, and eventually Eva is left all alone. With no one else to face, Eva finally looks at herself. In a moment of triumph, Eva becomes her own canvas, literally and metaphorically, as she forgives herself for past mistakes and accepts her "fallen" world as her chosen home.
