Review: South Coast Repertory Presents YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO THE END OF THE WORLD!
by Michael Quintos - Apr 17, 2025
Poignant, hopeful, sardonic, jubilant, and hilariously wicked, YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO THE END OF THE WORLD! is a brilliant new World Premiere play that revels in its eccentricity yet, thankfully, doesn't quite shield you from genuine, gut-wrenching emotions that tug at your heart strings. Buoyed by a terrific ensemble cast and magical theatricality, Keiko Green’s bold and emotionally resonant new theatrical work is as thought-provoking as it is entertaining. The play continues at South Coast Repertory in Costa Mesa through May 3, 2025.
