ABOUT THE SHOW

Couched amid historical artifacts and contemporary art celebrating PARADISE LOST, the greatest poem in the English language. Perhaps the largest birthday party for Milton in the world, with poets, artists and composers. We will be documenting this extravaganza on video to produce a documentary for this historical event that we believe will be seen for centuries to come. Milton's centennial birthday will not come again for another 100 years. Be part of it! If you attend the gala, you will probably be in this video!
