The West Coast premiere of Furlough’s Paradise is on stage at the Geffen Playhouse. Cousins Sade and Mina used to be inseparable. Now leading very different lives, they return to their childhood town for the funeral of their mother and aunt. While Sade is on a three-day furlough from prison and Mina experiences a brief reprieve from her career and life on the West Coast, the two try to make sense of grief, home, love, and kinship.

Written by a.k. payne, directed by Tinashe Kajese-Bolden and featuring Kacie Rogers and DeWanda Wise. Furlough’s Paradise is a poetic and theatrical masterpiece that explores family dreams of a utopia yet to be realized.
