About the show
Paradok Platform 2025 is a triple-bill theatre evening by Theatre Paradok, performed at Bedlam Theatre at Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The programme presents three short plays: Unwelcome, in which Andrew's carefully curated London life is upended when his sharp-tongued little sister Tracy shows up unannounced — a raw, funny and heartfelt play about identity, belonging and shame. Then A Cats Parasite, inspired by the stranger-than-fiction Jeremy Thorpe scandal, a forgotten tale of love and murder set in the twisted, queer chaos of nineteen-sixties London. Finally, Russian Roulette, a dark comedy about a never-ending game of Russian Roulette, an intimate absurdist two-hander asking why won't one of them just die already.
Why see this show?
Three very different plays in one evening — from domestic comedy to queer history to absurdist darkness. Theatre Paradok pack a lot of imagination into a single bill.
