Kill Move Paradise
Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright James Ijames’ New York Times Critics’ Pick play Kill Move Paradise tells the story of Isa, Daz, Grif, and Tiny, four Black men who find themselves stuck in a cosmic waiting room in the afterlife. Wrenched out of their young lives before they even knew what was happening, they confront the brutal reality of their pasts and scramble to make sense of their surreal new world. Kill Move Paradise illustrates the possibilities of collective transformation and radical acts of joy. Directed by Gregg T. Daniel.
