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 single man plays all the characters, creates all the scenes and, despite his best efforts, falls a little short of perfection.

A show for anyone who has created anything (child, garden, paper aeroplane) and then had to watch that wonderful thing spiral out of control.

5 Stars

"The comedy is divine, but the images of love and loss are achingly human."

The Independent

4 Stars

"This is so flawed, funny and oddly noble a portrait of God, that the most hard-hearted atheist may find him hard to resist."

The Guardian
