Paradise Bound

Fri 28 Apr to Sat 20 May 2006

“I wanna walk down the road an’ not know where I’m gonna end up. I want real grass that goes on for miles. Not false turf stuck in between a chippy an’ a bettin’ shop.”

Anthony’s seen the cranes go up. He’s living in the Capital of Culture. So why is it that everything in the Dingle feels the same? What’s a boy to do if he wants to talk about the latest subtitled film and drink green tea?

If you want something different from everyone around you, can you really find happiness right there in your own backyard? Or is it over the rainbow after all… Paradise Bound is a new Liverpool comedy from Jonathan Larkin. A graduate of the Everyman & Playhouse Young Writers’ Programme, Jonathan is now one of the theatres’ Henry Cotton Writers On Attachment.

This world première marks the debut of an exciting new talent.

"This debut is proof that the Everyman is back producing the next generation of Liverpool playwrights"
