Fires have come before. More will come again. And still, people stay, for love of place, for their children, for the idea of community. Bernardo Cubría’s dark and incisive new comedy, set in the aftermath of the 2025 fires in Los Angeles, does not romanticize that choice, but interrogates it, exposing the privilege embedded in even being able to choose. Fast, biting, and wickedly observant, The People of Pompeii asks what “home” really means—and whether we are willing to do the work it takes to build it together, before the next fire comes.
