The Bastards' Paradise

How many lives they have lived, if only for a night!

Puppets and peril, lonely streets and glittering salons — Rupert and Istvan have played through it all, and sought to make the road their lasting home. But that road winds through the past — including the brothel called the Rose and Poppy — while threats and invitations abound: a scheming social climber, a lovesick exile, the Mercury Theatre closed... or is it? Old friends from afar join comrades in the here-and-now, as power, love, and fate combine to play out the final chapter of the story of a lifetime.

The curtains rose with UNDER THE POPPY, the passionate play continued in THE MERCURY WALTZ. Now Kathe Koja brings the POPPY trilogy to a stunning and masterful conclusion in THE BASTARDS’ PARADISE.
