Performances begin January 15 at Theatre Row for the Off-Broadway premiere of Paradise Lost, in which Tom Dulack adapts John Milton’s 17th-century story about Satan’s banishment to Hell and the devil’s subsequent plot to bring on the Fall of Man through Adam and Eve.
Two-time Tony nominee Alison Fraser (The Secret Garden, Romance/Romance) and Tony nominee Lou Liberatore (Burn This) play Satan’s minions, Sin and Beezlebub, opposite David Andrew Macdonald (Rocky) as the devil himself. Joining them are Mel Johnson (Kiss Me, Kate) as the angel Gabriel, Marina Shay (Shakespeare in Love at Cleveland Playhouse) as Eve, and Robbie Simpson (Afterglow) as Adam.
