Play Title:ANOTHER PARADISE
Runtime:91-120 minutes
Synopsis:Set in Paradise, Kentucky, ANOTHER PARADISE is a memory play narrated by two women, Birdie Mae Tyler and her daughter Neva, both on a journey of self-discovery. The play's action, called forth by these women's narratives, runs from Birdie Mae's marriage in 1903 to Hiram Tyler until Neva's marriage in 1924 to Aaron Greenberg.

Although the events which Birdie Mae and Neva describe are the same, their points-of-view throughout the play are conflicting. Birdie Mae tells a simple, honest story of her difficult marriage and family life in backwoods Kentucky. Neva, a would-be writer and early feminist who is ashamed of her background, embroiders her story, making it into "elegant literature."
