Paradise! (2015)
“Sing, Heavenly Muse! Of Man’s first disobedience and the fruit of that forbidden tree.”
Paradise! Is an original production based on John Milton’s epic poem. It dramatises the themes of guilt, responsibility, original sin and the question of theodicy. The play transforms Milton’s superb verse and makes it accessible for contemporary audiences without curbing its style. Questions of individual hope, responsibility, temptation and salvation are as current as ever in our predicament. It is a performance filled with original music, dance and acting.
