Directed by Debbie Swann

The 2024-2025 season ends with one of the most famous poems in the English language, John Milton’s 17th-century tale Paradise Lost, an epic story about fallen angels and faulty humans searching for meaning through our temptations. In Erin Shields’s adaptation for the stage, Lucifer is a woman cast out of Heaven who crafts a plan for revenge and betrayal on the Almighty. Professor Debbie Swann directs Shields’s wickedly smart script, where the debate over right and wrong has never been so tantalizing.

Content Warning: This production contains adult language and mature themes, including scenes with sexual situations and implied nudity. Not appropriate for all ages.

I just saw the matinee performance of Paradise Lost, and it was superb. The casting was excellent, and the actors nailed their roles.

Please pass on my appreciation and congratulations to everyone involved.
