After a sold-out run in 2012, Joshua Harmon's hit dark comedy is back by popular demand. The sixth
Roundabout Underground production,
Bad Jews saw its world premiere in the 62-seat Black Box Theatre. In the fall of 2013 it will move upstairs in the Harold & Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre to the 420-seat Laura Pels Theatre for its off-Broadway debut.
Daphna Feygenbaum is a Real Jew—just ask the Israeli boyfriend she met on Birthright. So when her cousin Liam brings home his shiksa girlfriend Melody and declares ownership of their grandfather’s Chai necklace, it sparks a viciously hilarious brawl over family, faith and legacy.
Bad Jews is directed by Daniel Aukin. The limited run will be a part of Roundabout’s 2013-2014 subscription season.
Due to strong language, Bad Jews
may not be suitable for younger audience members. We recommend this show for ages 14 and up.
Major support for this production was provided by Jodi and Dan Glucksman.
