MANY ROADS TO PARADISE Transfers To Jermyn Street

Following a sell-out season at the Finborough, Many Roads To Paradise, a bitter sweet comedy, will be presented at the Jermyn Street Theatre from Tuesday 6 October for a six-week run.

In the cast are Miriam Karlin, Amanda Boxer, Gillian Hanna, Tim Stern, Jason Wing and Elizabeth Uter. It is directed by Anthony Biggs, with design by Cherry Truluck, lighting by David Kydd and sound by Tom Cassidy. It is produced by Jermyn Street Theatre.

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?
