In this captivating dramatisation, Sir Ian McKellen brings to life John Milton's epic poem, "Paradise Lost," exploring the profound themes of the fall of man. Set across the realms of heaven, hell, and earth, the narrative delves into Satan's rebellion against God and the consequential temptation of Adam and Eve. With a cast including Simon Russell Beale as Satan and Frances Barber as Milton's lost wife, this production offers a powerful reflection on authority, tyranny, and the human condition, echoing relevant societal issues today. Adapted by award-winning poet Michael Symmons Roberts and directed by Susan Roberts, this retelling serves as both a timeless literary masterpiece and a thought-provoking drama.
