The Fall is a modern and darkly comic re-telling of John Milton's Paradise Lost, where the fear of Saw meets a twisted Romeo and Juliet. Reconfigured into a classic story of survival, Arensen explores the themes of desperation, loneliness, and falling - in love, apart and from grace. This multi-sensory tale of intrigue and deceit leaves you contemplating a simple choice: make a life together or attempt escape? Brand-new writing for 2020, The Fall locks the audience away with its characters, forcing them to question their own loyalties, build trust and consider the consequence of fate.
Deep in the half-light, where the rules of normality no longer apply, nothing is quite as it seems. From the depths of solitude, who will emerge?
The Fall opens at The Hope Theatre on March 17th, 2020 and runs every Tuesday to Saturday until April 4th, 2020.
WARNING: This show contains references to sexual assault on a minor, strong language, scenes of imprisonment, drug use and violence.
The Luminaries is a new company, created in early 2019, and looking to earn its stripes. They've written and produced a radio drama called The Divine Comedy, dir. Paul Schlesinger, but moved on to the realm of theatre. In order to bring 'The Fall' to life, they partnered with Glynne Steele and his avant-garde workshop 'Dangerosity'. The Luminaries believe in putting the audience first, and providing them with dangerous, raw and original theatrical experiences.
