Paradise Now!

'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 multi-level marketing company called Paradise – and overnight, Gabriel 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. Margaret Perry's play Paradise Now! is a funny and raging drama about ambition, exploitation and the search for connection in a fractured world. It was first performed by an all-female cast at the Bush Theatre, London, in December 2022, directed by Jaz Woodcock-Stewart, and was nominated for Outstanding Achievement in an Affiliate Theatre at the Oliver Awards. This revised edition was published in 2025.
