Lost Dog is touring its dance/theatre production Paradise Lost (lies unopened beside me), which opened at Battersea Arts Centre in May 2015, to Surrey, Findhorn, Bristol, Brighton, Derby, Salford, and two venues in London, BAC and Wilton's Music Hall, this spring.

This one-man staging of Milton's Paradise Lost, condensed into 75 minutes, combines theatre, movement and comedy. Ben Duke plays all the characters, creates all the scenes.

"It's a show for anyone who has created anything (child, garden, paper aeroplane) and then watched it spiral out of control,” he said.
