Lost Horizon
By Michael Carmody

A new theatrical adaptation of James Hilton’s classic twentieth century novel Lost Horizon.

The first paperback novel printed for a mass market, adapted into film in 1937, then musical theatre in 1973. Now in the public domain and somewhat forgotten, the themes and ideas of this metaphysical adventure story remain deeply resonant and relevant to our times. Conceived as a virtuosic one-person show accompanied by an adventurous audio-visual design, this adaptation aims to crack traditional themes open for new generations.
