About: Bad Jews
DANNY MOAR and SIMON FRIEND for THEATRE ROYAL BATH and ST. JAMES THEATRE PRODUCTIONS present Joshua Harmon’s 'Bad Jews'.
A beloved grandfather has died and a treasured family heirloom with religious significance is up for grabs. But who is most deserving of it? Bossy, overbearing, fanatically religious Daphna? Her wealthy cousin Liam who’s just returned from skiing with his non-Jewish girlfriend Melody? Or Jonah, his brother, who would prefer not to get involved in the fight?
A cramped Manhattan apartment becomes the setting for a viciously hilarious quarrel about family, faith and legacy as the contenders set at each other’s throats on the night after the funeral.
Directed by Michael Longhurst with design by Richard Kent, the UK premiere of this production of Bad Jews was a sell out at the Ustinov Studio, Bath earlier this year, where it earned huge critical acclaim for its hilarious script and sharp performances.
The original Bath cast are back with Jenna Augen (up for a UK Theatre Award for Best Supporting Performance) playing Daphna, Gina Bramhill as Melody, Joe Coen in the role of Jonah and Ilan Goodman playing Liam.
Reviews“The best comedy of the season” – New York Times
“There will be no justice in this world if this shockingly good production does not transfer to London” – The Independent
“A brutal, feral production with great soul” – WhatsOnStage
