As the leaves fall and the air turns crisp, we are excited to bring you a unique opportunity to experience Lost Dog’s acclaimed performance of Paradise Lost in Somerset as part of their national tour. We have the new artists on the upcoming RTDI menu coming to Somerset this month to learn about all things Rural Touring, as part of this we are bringing Lost Dog’s Paradise Lost back to Somerset.

Paradise Lost (lies unopened beside me) is a one-man adaptation of Milton’s epic poem. Originally written and performed by Lost Dog Artistic Director, Ben Duke, it is being recast and remounted for touring in Autumn 2024. The remount is co-directed by Ben Duke and Lucy Morrison.

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.

Tuesday 12 November 7.30pm at the Tithe Barn at Haslebury Mill, for tickets click here.
