Video by Christopher Dreisbach
Set amongst the marble hallways of the Mountain View Mausoleum in Altadena, California, the stunning conclusion to The Speakeasy Society’s critically-acclaimed The Johnny Cycle, based on Dalton Trumbo’s Johnny Got His Gun, immerses audiences in the mind of an injured soldier as his perception of reality blends with dreams, memories, and events from his author’s life. Johnny may speak for the dead, but who will listen?
“…an experience that honors the lives of the dead, and their value within the whole of existence.”

Ripped from the pages of the Frank L. Baum’s “Land of OZ” novels, The Speakeasy Society’s episodic and immersive retelling throws audiences into the middle of an alternate reality game (ARG) inspired experience that takes place in real time and evolves according to audiences' responses. The story spans ten chapters and productions have been ongoing from 2016 through 2019.
“The Speakeasy Society […] transports us to a magical place that I, along with many others, can’t get enough of.”
