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