An award-winning dance/theatre company is bringing its entertaining and insightful one-man show to Cornwall for the first time.
Lost Dog is coming to the Tolmen Centre in Constantine with a production fronted by its artistic director, Ben Duke. ‘Paradise Lost (lies unopened beside me)’ is a one-man show which has received critical acclaim while performing to capacity audiences for over a year.
Ben said: “It’s a show for anyone who has created anything (child, garden, paper aeroplane) and then watched it spiral out of control.”
The story is a staging of Milton’s epic, Paradise Lost, which combines theatre, comedy and movement in a journey through the story of the creation of everything, condensed into 80 minutes, beginning with Lucifer’s rebellion and ending with Adam and Eve’s expulsion from The Garden of Eden.
Ben has been awarded the 2016 National Dance Critics Award for Outstanding Male Performance and was also nominated for the 2016 South Bank Sky Arts Award for Dance.
Paradise Lost (lies unopened beside me) will be at the Tolmen Centre on Thursday, October 6 at 7.30pm.
Tickets cost £11, £8.80 for concessions, and are available from the box office on 01326 341353, or online at tolmencentre.co.uk.
