North London. Across a crowded karaoke bar, chunky travel agent Martin nervously catches the eye of his not-so-young internet stud. At a Jewish residential care home, blind and elderly Stella shares make-up and millinery tips with her Muslim nurse. And in their spacious house, a long-term lesbian relationship crumbles as Helen and her alcoholic partner squabble viciously over fig and honey tart.
Six people whose lives are inextricably linked, each searching for some kind of salvation. But with so many roads to paradise, which one will they choose?
Legendary actress Miriam Karlin makes a rare stage appearance in this scathingly funny new comedy from writer Stewart Permutt.
There was a free post-show discussion following the evening performance on 2 July 2008, hosted by the British Institute of Human Rights with Katie Ghose (Director of BIHR), Miriam Karlin and Stewart Permutt.
