Sir Ian McKellen stars as Milton in this dramatised retelling of
John Milton's epic poem about the fall of Man "devilishly good... I
urge you to give it a listen" The Telegraph Milton's biblical
masterpiece, first published in 1667, is one of English
literature's most seminal works. Straddling three worlds - Heaven,
Hell and Earth - it tells the gripping story of fallen angel
Satan's rebellion against God, his temptation of Adam and Eve and
their subsequent expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Written to
'justify the ways of God to men', it aimed to show what caused
Mankind's fall and the consequences for the world, both bad and
good. By reaching back to the beginning of time, Milton hoped to
discover the events that had led to the political and societal
upheaval of his own era - as well as using allegory to ask powerful
questions about authority, government, tyranny and disobedience. In
this brand new dramatisation, Milton himself (Sir Ian McKellen) is
the blind narrator grieving the loss of his wife, played by Frances
Barber. Also starring Simon Russell Beale as Satan, and adapted by
award-winning poet and broadcaster Michael Symmons Roberts, this
enthralling drama is a vital piece of storytelling with striking
parallels to contemporary events. Cast and credits
