Paradise Lost (Lies Unopened Beside Me) by Lost Dog Dance

Presented in association with Dance Reading and house theatre.
There is a possibility that God made everything because he was terrified of doing nothing. Here is a re-telling of the story of the beginning of everything inspired by Milton's Paradise Lost - told through words, music and the easily misunderstood medium of dance.
A show for anyone who has created anything (child, garden, paper aeroplane) and then watched it spiral out of control.
Combining theatre, comedy and movement this is a journey through the story of the creation of everything, condensed into 75 minutes.
Conceived, directed and performed by Ben Duke
Presented on tour by House Theatre
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.
Tickets £16, £13.50 Members
Age guidance: 13+
Running time: 75 mins (no interval)
