A talented young company is due to make their West End debut in Joshua Harmon's hugely popular comedy, Bad Jews. It returns to the Arts Theatre in London for an 11 week run from Thursday 14th July. Daphna Feygenbaum is a ‘real’ Jew with an Israeli boyfriend to prove it. When her cousin Liam brings home his non-Jewish girlfriend Melody, and announced he now owns his granddad’s necklace, the massive row that ensues quickly becomes hilarious.
