Synopsis
Daphna Feygenbaum is a “real Jew.” Her cousin Liam is a self-described “bad Jew,” complete with a shiksa girlfriend. When the two arrive in New York for their grandfather’s funeral, they instantly lock horns in a savagely funny battle royale over a cherished family artifact. Written and developed by Joshua Harmon during his National New Play Network playwriting residency at Actor’s Express, Bad Jews returns to Atlanta following a run as the most acclaimed comedy of the past New York theatre season.

"'Bad Jews' is provocative and quite excoriating at times. It is one heck of a 95 minute ride. It will generate controversy; it’s powerful theatre."Atlanta INtown Manning Harris,
"'Bad Jews' is a damn good time. [It] will have you questioning your own faith and intentions long after the final scene..."Creative Loafing Sarah Wilson,
