The Fall is a modern and darkly comic re-telling of John Milton’s Paradise Lost, where Sartre's No Exit meets a twisted Romeo and Juliet. Reconfigured into a classic story of survival, Arensen explores the themes of desperation, loneliness, and falling - in love, apart and from grace. This multi-sensory tale of intrigue and deceit leaves you contemplating a simple choice: make a life together or attempt escape?
