With its exquisite language and Shakespearean scale, John Milton's epic poem explores the fundamental questions of the human experience: What is evil? If God is all-powerful, why did he allow evil to exist? Do humans have free will? Is our life predestined? Dubbed "an immorality play" by adapter/director Michael Barakiva, this new adaptation will be presented in two parts:
The Fall of Lucifer will premiere LIVE on Monday, APRIL 12th. A recording of that livestream will be available until 7PM EST on Friday, APRIL 16th - then it disappears.
Part 2, Eve and Adam will premiere LIVE on Monday, APRIL 26th. A recording of that livestream will be available until 7PM EST on Friday, APRIL 30th - then it disappears as well.
