THE GREAT KHAN at San Diego Rep

The laughs come quickly in Michael Gene Sullivan's provocative and brilliant new play. Hailed as a "fully realized fantasia" by Broadway World and "brilliant" by Talkin' Broadway, The Great Khan is the new comedy from award-winning playwright Michael Gene Sullivan. Loveable gamer nerd Jayden meets quirky dreamer Ant in very unusual circumstances... Both teens are trying to figure out how to define themselves - and then Genghis Khan shows up. Literally. With fierce conviction humor, The Great Khan reflects on the beauty of youth - that magical space between adolescence and adulthood. It deftly addresses challenges Black teens currently face in the U.S., issues relating to who writes history and how that can determine your present and future. The Great Khan was an immediate hit in San Diego REP's Black Voices Reading Series last year, and was swiftly picked up to be fully staged for the REP's current season. Directed by social justice advocate Jess McLeod and featuring a remarkably talented and charismatic cast, The Great Khan is an entertaining ride punctuated with sharp, thoughtful commentary. Do not miss this comedy with a socially-conscious heart. Performance runes March 3rd- 27th, 2022. Tickets from $25.
