What's so bad about asking a few questions?
Does that really warrant having your wings ripped off, your halo thrown in the bin and being tossed out of Heaven?
If wanting a few answers is so bad, then who would want to be good?
This contemporary adaptation of Milton's epic poem is the ultimate revenge story. Satan, having been freshly banished to hell, is hungry for vengeance and determined to take out all of her pain and everything she's lost on God's precious Adam and Eve. She's got a chip on her shoulder where her wings used to be, and a God-shaped hole in her heart.
Paradise Lost by Erin Shields, winner of the Governor General’s Literary Award, is a feminist adaptation of the classic English poem by John Milton from 1667. Paradise Lost is a funny, poignant and philosophically rich exploration of the consequences of free will.
“I'm so excited to be returning to my old stomping grounds to direct Paradise Lost this coming season alongside fellow alumna Rebecca Toon (who will be designing the costumes for this gorgeous piece),” says Jamie Dunsdon, director.
“ULethbridge is where I found my passion and where I began to build my skills as a director, so it will be a genuine delight to return a couple decades later to bring this piece to life with the next generation of artists. I owe so much to the professors and staff at ULethbridge, and I hope I can pay it forward to the students who will build Paradise Lost with me."
Tickets are $20 regular, $15 alumni and senior, $10 students, and are available at the University of Lethbridge Box Office located in the UCA Atrium (Monday to Friday, 12:30-3:30 p.m.) or online: ulethbridge.ca/tickets
