The Play Podcast - 059 - Paradise Now! , by Margaret Perry

Host: Douglas Schatz Guest: Margaret Perry

The Play Podcast is a podcast dedicated to exploring the greatest new and classic plays. In each episode we choose a single play to talk about in depth with our expert guest. We discuss the play's origins, its themes, characters, structure and impact. For us the play is the thing.

Margaret Perry's new play Paradise Now! 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. 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. Following its acclaimed run at the Bush Theatre in London, Margaret joins me to talk about her perceptive, funny and moving play.
