This event has now finished.

A one man staging of Milton’s epic poem Paradise Lost and not like whatever came into your head when you read the first bit of that sentence.

Combining theatre, comedy and movement, this is a journey through the story of the creation of everything, condensed into 75 minutes.

It is a show which brings you the highlights of this well-known but often forgotten story
beginning with Lucifer’s rebellion and ending with Adam and Eve’s expulsion from the Garden of Eden. A single man plays all the characters, creates all the scenes and, despite his best efforts, falls a little short of perfection.

A show for anyone who has created anything (child, garden, paper aeroplane) and then watched it spiral out of control.

Presented by Lost Dog

Written by Ben Duke
Co-Directed by Lucy Morrison and Ben Duke
Performed by Sharif Afifi
Lighting & Set Design by Jackie Shemesh
Casting Director: Arthur Carrington
Artistic Collaborator: Raquel Meseguer Zafe

Co-commissioned by The Place and Battersea Arts Centre with further commissioning support from ICIA Bath University. Developed with support from The Point, Eastleigh and South East Dance. Supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.

The comedy is divine, but the images of love and loss are achingly human

The Independent

Brilliant dance theatre ode to the clumsy and crushing art of creation

A heavenly new take on Milton
