Lost Dog: Paradise Lost (lying unopened next to me) – artsdepot

A single man enacting Milton’s epic poem

Venue: artsdepot, 5 Nether Street, Tally Ho Corner, North Finchley N12 0GA

Date/time: Thursday, October 10

Info: A man who stages Milton’s epic poem Paradise Lost and not like anything that crossed your mind when you read the first part 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’s a show that brings you the highlights of this well-known but often forgotten story
beginning with the rebellion of Lucifer and ending with the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden. One man plays all the characters, creates all the scenes, and, despite his best efforts, falls just short of perfection.

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