Inspired by the story of a young Palestinian suicide bomber who killed herself and two others, including a young Israeli, Paradise was commissioned by the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park and was scheduled to begin performances there in March but the production was canceled after a series of protests.
Paradise will be read on Friday, April 25 at The Players Club, 16 Gramercy Park South. The suggested donation is $30 and proceeds will benefit PEN America, the Dramatists Guild, and Epic Repertory Theatre. For reservations, call 212-740-3080.
