Paradise Lost by Fourth Monkey at Trinity Buoy Wharf

Fourth Monkey Theatre Company presents Paradise Lost, adaptation of John Milton’s poem Paradise Lost, at the Trinity Buoy Wharf, east London, from 29 May to 22 June 2013.

Directed by Ailin Conant , designed by Zahra Mansouri, lighting by Pablo Fernandez-Baz, sound by Jamie Flockton.

Using Milton’s words almost exclusively, the production uses ensemble physical theatre techniques to create the epic monsters and angels depicted in the text, with characters including a faceless and unpredictable blob ‘chaos’ and ukulele-playing angels Zephron and Ithuriel.
