Bad Jews

Written by Joshua Harmon
Directed by Cristina Alicea
Produced by Next Stop Theatre
May 24-June 17, 2018

The night after their grandfather’s funeral, three cousins engage in a knock-down, drag-out war over a precious family heirloom that was protected through the Holocaust. In one corner is the volatile and self-righteous “Super Jew” Daphna Feygenbaum. In the other is her entitled and proudly-secular cousin Liam, with his “shiksa” girlfriend Melody in tow. Caught in the middle is Liam’s brother, Jonah, who wants nothing more than to be left out of it. Bad Jews provides an irreverent take on faith in modern America.

Cast: Sophie Schulman, Noah Schaefer,  Vitaly Mayes, Elizabeth Kate Vinarski

The actors, under the direction of Cristina Alicea, deserve great credit for not only maintaining the generally rapid pace of the dialogue without missing a beat but for knowing when to pause, providing occasional moments of quiet before roaring off into the next flight of acrimony. Each actor gets to make the case for his or her character, and the actors take good advantage of their opportunities to do so.” - DC Metro
