June 7 - 9, 2024, BNH Stage, Concord, NH
Margaret Perry’s new play brings together a group of women who join a pyramid selling scheme promoting a range of essential oils that soothe a myriad of life’s stresses. In Paradise, you’re your own boss. In Paradise, you could make a fortune. The women hope that they will find cures to the challenges in their own lives, but the road to Paradise is not so sure and smooth. This U.S. premiere of Paradise Now! is a funny and raging new play about ambition, exploitation and the search for connection in a fractured world.
