Press Quotes
“The year is 2028. A massive earthquake has reconfigured Southern California, wiping out Los Angeles and Orange County. The whole region has to be reconceived. In a controversial move, a new city-state has been proposed, combining San Diego and Tijuana into one cross-cultural community known as Nuevo California. This imaginary world is at the center of a new play premiering at the San Diego Repertory Theater. So the wall is coming down and there’s a Mexican-American pope who comes to the region to bless its demolition. What follows is a wild mix of fantasy and reality — chaos and crisis, murder, mystery and a budding bicultural romance — all played out by Mexicans, Anglos, Asians, blacks, Jews, Muslims and Kumi Indians.” —Robert Siegel, All Things Considered, N P R News
