Akeldama
2026-03-11 20:00 - 23:00, 2026-03-12 20:00 - 23:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | The Broadwater, 1076 Lillian Way, Los Angeles, California, 90038.0
Step into The Inkwell Theater for Akeldama, a darkly comic and hauntingly poetic new play by Chandler Hubbard. In a world where the sun has simply stopped rising, this “apocalyptic fable” explores what happens when the rules of logic and morality begin to fade, leaving only the raw essentials of human connection.
The vibe is atmospheric and surreal, balancing absurd humor with tender, devastatingly human moments. As a woman accused of witchcraft and the man tasked with her fate find themselves trapped together, the play asks a powerful question: What responsibility do we owe one another when nothing is guaranteed to last?
Directed by Susan Dalian, the production features a stellar ensemble including Susan-Kate Heaney, Jeff Verge, Andrew Joseph Perez, and Parvesh Cheena. Together, they bring a visceral energy to this story of belief, blame, and the search for light in a world gone dark. Join us for a sophisticated and deeply moving evening of new theater.
