'Adam and Eve are really digging Paradise. They’re happy, super happy in their airtight bubbleland. There’s no judgement here. No shame. It’s the perfect place for some relentless fornication.

'But nothing this good lasts long.

'Satan’s sick of the cherubs getting stuck in the ventilation shafts. He tries to complain but God chucks him out. In hell, a napalm covered wonderland, Satan hatches a master plan. And so the fall begins.

'PARADISE LOST is a satirical adaptation about the narcissism of creation and our fading hope for the future.

'Bloomshed creates cutting edge, political satire, energising classic texts through physical comedy and outrageous dance breaks. PARADISE LOST is a whirlwind ride through creation: it took God seven days, it’ll take us just under an hour.'

'He loved himself. She loved her brother.

'He wants to purify his genetic line. She can live with her nature. A tragedy all queered up with science, a Clone Chorus of Bondi Boys, and a leader in red budgy smugglers who'll stop at nothing to perfect his XYs. Throw in fake sun, beach balls, a paddle pool, global warming and a cool clown called AntigoneX. Who needs catharsis in this heat?'
