AirPlay 2020: Kingdom Come

AIRPLAY

KINGDOM COME is a bold new musical by Joe Izen and Coni Koepfinger that peers deep into the heart of humanity and sees through time into a new vision, a look into the light, where the reflection of all life is love. Set in a dystopian future, TED, the world's first transhuman, falls in love with boss Livia. This prompts him to question the very purpose of life and finds something might be missing.
