From the award winning writer and director of The Haunting of Blaine Manor, comes the first in a series of critically acclaimed plays, part of his series Tales from Paradise Heights comes the phenomenal The Bench: A Tale from Paradise Heights.
It's just a bench in the park, the one by the war memorial. A thief, a fake medium, Eric the homeless, two burglars, a street sweeper, two war veteran pensioners, an artist, a widow, a drug dealer, a clairvoyant, a loan shark, an angel and a ghost. They'll all sit on this bench at least once this year. Before year's end, one of them will be murdered on it.
Part of Joe O'Byrne's critically acclaimed series of plays and films, Tales from Paradise Heights, a series of separate but interconnected tales all set in the same community. A series hailed as A Chronicle of Broken Britain and A Canterbury Tales for Today. A series that has left reviewers calling Joe the New Jimmy McGovern and the Salford Scorsese.
PARADISE HEIGHTS; The Devil's had his way round here. It's a place where Angels walk among the gangsters, sharks, prostitutes and pimps; a place where the homeless man is a poet and a king; a place where the red brick walls are the canvas to a child trapped in the body of a man; it’s a place where the streets will share secrets, and where between the crumbling walls and stripped out shells these people call home you will find heart, soul and humanity. So feel free to walk around, but mind how you go and stay away from those dark corners.
