States of Innocence | Milton: poet, prophet, dreamer | Classical | Brighton Festival 2024
On the cusp of publishing his biblical epic Paradise Lost, the great English poet and staunch republican John Milton, now completely blind and living in fear of reprisals from the restored Stuart monarchy, is assailed by visions of devils, angels and phantasms of the past…
This year marks the 350th anniversary of Milton’s death and in this studio-style premiere of award-winning composer Ed Hughes' new score, internationally acclaimed bass-baritone Sir John Tomlinson takes the role of Milton, Stuart Jackson plays Satan with video designs by Ian Winters and Milton’s words adapted by Peter Cant.
