PARADISE LOST

by Erin Shields
A theatrical adaptation of John Milton’s Paradise Lost
Director Jackie Maxwell
World première commissioned by the Stratford Festival

THE DEVIL WEARS SNAKESKIN.

Inspired by John Milton’s epic poem of the cosmic battle between good and evil, Satan’s revenge and the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, this ultra-contemporary new drama is fiercely engaging, irreverently funny and deeply moving.

This production draws on creative learning and development fostered in the Stratford Festivalʼs Laboratory.

Please be advised that there is a brief instance of full nudity in this production.
