Cape Town - After a sold-out season in Cape Town and Johannesburg, the Fugard Theatre's South African production of Joshua Harmon’s West End smash hit, Bad Jews, returned this December (until 14 January) and is once more presented by Eric Abraham and the Fugard Theatre.
WHAT'S IT ABOUT?
After the death of their grandfather, Poppy, a family heirloom propels cousins Daphna and Liam into a domestic battle of honour, faith and heritage.
The devoutly Jewish Daphna is at odds with her secular cousin Liam, an entitled young man detached from his cultural traditions. Caught in the middle are Jonah, Liam’s younger brother, and Liam's non-Jewish girlfriend Melody, who just wants everyone to get along. When the group is forced to spend the night in close quarters, hilarity and mayhem ensues.

The production garnered a five star review from the Jewish Chronicle (UK).
This Fugard Theatre production once again features Lara Lipschitz who returns to the Fugard Theatre in Bad Jews as Daphna, a devout Jew, who is unbending and religiously opinionated.
Opposite Lara is Glen Biderman-Pam who will reprise his role of Liam, Daphna’s secular cousin. Oliver Booth too will reprise his role of Jonah, Liam’s younger brother.
The Fugard Theatre welcomes Donna Cormack-Thomson who will play the role of Melody, Liam’s new non-Jewish girlfriend.
Greg Karvellas directs with set and costume designs by Saul Radomsky.
