Abstract
Thesis will transform and adapt John Milton’s Paradise Lost into a work of theater. Milton’s original plan for his epic poem was to create a closet drama called “Adam Unparadised.” This fully realized play will honor Milton’s initial idea while introducing modern theatrical techniques that build both on the dramatic aspects of the completed poem and on critical responses to it. The play will highlight Books IV, IX, and X with special attentions to the separation colloquy, the transgression, fall, and aftermath. Subverting “Adam Unparadised,” the piece will challenge the androcentrism of Paradise Lost with a distinct affinity for Eve.
