In a compelling move for costume design, Matthew Malone has dressed Adam and Eve in all-white country club-esque garb to represent their nakedness, which is to say their lack of knowledge. Their brains, like the bodies they inhabit, are initially blank slates. Everything is the pristine white of milk, almost asking to be stained. Crawford, meanwhile, is dressed as a cross between…a 70s game show host and Walt Clyde Frazier left alone at a disco party.
