LA Times: "Kingdom Come is a truly BIZARRE THEATRICAL ANIMAL... its austere poeticism exerts a hypnotic pull that is difficult to resist... which gives the story an unexpected minimalist beauty."

About Kingdom Come
In 1532, Atau Wallpa awoke from a foreboding dream -- a red bearded enemy would destroy his world. Almost immediately, Francisco Pizarro and his army arrived from Spain to conquer the Inca Empire. Yet, in the face of war and potential devastation, Atau Wallpa gave his people courage and hope. While Pizarro did defeat the Inca army and murder the great king Atau Wallpa, this cataclysm could not destroy the Inca heart. The undaunted spirit of the Inca people survives in the voices of the people who continue to tell their story.
Unknown Theater’s adaptation illuminates the universality and timelessness of this ancient story with the inclusion of the diverse ancestral history of eleven wanderers who find one another at the crossroads of Kingdom Come. Come meet the survivors of three thousand years of human tragedy and perseverance. Watch as they stumble upon the story of the fall of the great Inca Empire, and discover with them the healing power of this ancient culture.
Join us for Kingdom Come, a play about the Inca and a theatrical event about us all.
