Presented in association with Dance Reading and house theatre.There is a possibility that God made everything because he was terrified of doing nothing. Here is a re-telling of the story of the beginning of everything inspired by Milton's Paradise Lost - told through words, music and the easily misunderstood medium of dance.
A show for anyone who has created anything (child, garden, paper aeroplane) and then watched it spiral out of control.
Combining theatre, comedy and movement this is a journey through the story of the creation of everything, condensed into 75 minutes.
Conceived, directed and performed by Ben Duke
Presented on tour by House Theatre
