Production details

Southbank Centre celebrates the 400th anniversary of the birth of John Milton, and the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, with a unique one-off event: a continuous live reading of all 12 books of Paradise Lost. Milton’s works were publicly burned by Royalists, and he was arrested and imprisoned for his advocacy of free speech, civil liberties and the need for a democratic civil society. Starting from Milton’s birthday on Tuesday 9 December, writers, actors and public figures congregate to perform his masterpiece. Poetry Library
