Those Bad Jews are heading back to London! Directed by Michael Longhurst, Joshua Harmon’s hit show will play the West End’s Theatre Royal Haymarket February 8 through March 19.
The cast will feature Ilan Goodman (The Imitation Game) reprising his role of Liam and new cast members, Ailsa Joy (TimePlays) as Daphna, Antonia Kinlay (Lady Anna: All at Sea) as Melody and Jos Slovick (Once) as Jonah.
A beloved grandfather—and Holocaust survivor—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 brawl over family, faith and legacy as the contenders set at each other’s throats on the night after the funeral.
Following its successful off-Broadway bow, Bad Jews has had acclaimed U.K. runs at Bath's Ustinov Studio and London's St. James and Arts Theatres.
