Ben Duke asks, have you ever created something - a child, a garden, or a paper plane – only to watch it spiral out of control? What if that is how God feels, given the state of his creation? With mischievous yet kindly humour, Ben Duke is bold enough to play God on stage. He also plays Lucifer, and Adam, and Eve! He draws inspiration from that masterpiece of 17th century English literature: John Milton’s Paradise Lost, an epic poem of thousands of verses which takes a philosophical and humanist look at the fall of man. The English press have called it a portrait of a God who is “so flawed, funny and oddly noble… that the most hard-hearted atheist may find him hard to resist.”
