Casting is announced for Paradise Now!, a funny and raging new play about ambition, exploitation, and kinship in a world that wants to keep us strangers, which opens at the Bush Theatre on 2 December.
This new Bush Theatre commission by Margaret Perry (Collapsible) is an exciting collaboration with director Jaz Woodcock-Stewart (Civilisation) and features an all-female ensemble cast.
‘“It doesn’t happen all the time. That you really connect with someone. It’s rare to meet someone like you.”
Gabriel Dolan’s never been up to much. That’s what everyone says.
Until she meets Alex, a young, ambitious woman who sells essential oils for a company called Paradise, and overnight, she is drawn into a bright new floral-scented world.
In Paradise, you’re your own boss. In Paradise, you could make a fortune. Embraced by a new community of women just like her, Gabriel rises through the ranks of the company like a shooting star.
But when she gets to the top, it doesn’t quite feel like she thought it would.
The cast is comprised of Annabel Baldwin (Anthie), Michele Moran (Gabriel), Shazia Nicholls (Alex), Ayoola Smart (Carla) Rakhee Thakrar (Laurie), and Carmel Winters (Baby).
