Requiem for Paradise

The Apprenticed Actors Company in a new play by Joe Samaniego

'This isn’t our story to tell
But it’s a story in need
So we hold our breath and wait
Wait for the waves to crash
For our lovers to rise from the dead
For one last smile'

In May 2014 in Isla Vista, California a young man shot dead 6 people before turning the gun on himself.

This remarkable play examines what the incident tells us about our fractured society, and demands we find solutions to its incessant cycle of violence.
