  'Here at least we shall be free. Better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heaven.' Defeated in battle and exiled from heaven, Satan burns in a lake of fire with his army of rebels around him. Consumed with envy, he plots his bitter revenge - to destroy God's delight in his newest creation. During his hunt for Paradise on Earth, Satan sweet-talks his way out of hell and tricks his way across the universe to tempt Eve and seduce humanity. Paradise Lost , the greatest epic poem in the English language, is a richly theatrical vision of the Fall of Mankind. This version is produced by the Oxford Stage Company and begins a UK tour in April 2006. 'Sublime and thrilling, this will switch many people on to Milton for life'. 'Juicy and decadent, Ben Power's version makes voluptuous sense'. 'Wonderful...the choreography is inspired...an admirable adaptation'.
