Another Paradise by Sayan Kent

Abi is married to Marcus. Marcus is a successful businessman in biometric technology. Abigail doesn’t get along with technology. Lisa works in National Identity Agency Customer Services. Enoch used to be a simple accountant. Fisher is in charge of security around Coventry. Coventry is where no one wants to go… All hope hangs on a biometric thread, a tiny fusion where human being meets numeric algorithm. You think it can’t happen to you? Another Paradise opened at Manchester Contact Theatre in March 2009 as part of a tour by Kali Theatre.
