Bad Jews

Bad Jews is a dark comedy play by Joshua Harmon. After a beloved grandfather dies in New York, leaving a treasured piece of religious jewelry that he succeeded in hiding even from the Nazis during the Holocaust, cousins fight over not only the family heirloom, but their "religious faith, cultural assimilation, and even the validity of each other's romances."[1]

The play premiered premiered Off-Broadway in October 2013 at the Roundabout Theatre Company's Black Box Theatre and then transferred upstairs to the Laura Pels Theatre. Its UK premiere, directed by Michael Longhurst, was at Bath's Ustinov Studio in late 2013 before transferring in 2014 to the West End at the St. James Theatre and in 2015 at the Arts Theatre, in London.[2] Among regional productions, it played in 2015 and was revived in 2016 at the Studio Theatre in Washington, DC[1] and ran at the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles.[3] It is being revived in 2016 at the Haymarket Theatre.[4]
