'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.
