10 April 1998, Belfast. The Good Friday Agreement is signed, bringing the prospect and threat of momentous change to Northern Ireland. At the same moment, at the other end of the city, a river is rising in Kate. A phone call from a desperate stranger forces Kate to confront the legacy of an ex-lover and discover what the end of violence means for a body that won't stop breaking. At once timely and timeless in its nuanced observation of the fragility of peace, This is Paradise is a powerful monologue exploring what it takes from us to begin again.| 24 Aug 21 to 29 Aug 21 | Traverse Theatre Edinburgh Performance Details => Venue archive |
