- Title
The Eden Plot Reprised: Paradise Lost at the Bristol Old Vic.
- Authors
Manning, Gill
- Abstract
The article focuses on the simultaneous arrival of two new and speedily acclaimed stage versions of John Milton's epic "Paradise Lost," one at the Bristol Old Vic Theater and the other at the Royal Theatre in Northampton, England. At the Bristol theater, David Farr's spare and powerful production of his own adaptation of "Paradise Lost" begins, focusing intently, first on the fallen angels, and then on the subsequent fall and judgment of mankind. Altogether, his theatrical vision proves acute and convincing, offering a sinewy, splendidly dramatized take on Milton's world.
