Broadbent Theatre are pleased to present A Certain Demographic and their outdoor performance of Paradise Lost.
Words by John Milton & Ian Sharp, music by Tim Sutton, performed by A Certain Demographic (of ‘Conchies!’ fame).
Bring your own seating and refreshments – or how about a picnic, up to 45 minutes before the show.
This show brings Milton’s classic poem to life for contemporary audiences. Ian Sharp has extracted the most dramatic elements of Milton’s work – as powerful as the best of Shakespeare – and added new scenes. The play is a 21st century, and often comic, take on the ancient story of Adam & Eve and Satan. Milton’s themes are increasingly relevant to our own age – Adam and Eve lost Paradise. Are we about to do the same?
