The Story
Slovenian nanny Veronica is visited in the early hours by Peter – father of the children she minds. Meanwhile Satan, bent on carnage, tears streaming down his face, rushes through the dark void. The affair disintegrates, spiralling beyond its authors’ control. The audience huddle around Veronica’s bed sharing rich words and surprising images, explicit and familiar.
Red Shift has chosen one of the greats – Milton’s Paradise Lost – and uses it as a lens through which to magnify the intense, guilt-ridden antics of human beings unable to keep their hands off one-another, despite the awful fall-out they know will come.
