Bad Jews
4040 Twiggs Street, San Diego, 92110
Cost: $29 - $54
If Liam and Daphna played rock, paper, scissors, each would sneak in an automatic weapon. The cousins see each other as a "bad Jew" --he's abandoning the faith; she's a reactionary traditionalist. Beneath lengthy scream-outs the play raises a crucial question: what does one do with one's inherited culture? Cygnet gives the rancorous script a first-rate go, led by Danielle Frimer (Daphna) and Josh Odessa-Rubin (Liam), both unafraid to be brutally unlikeable. And the play is funny. How funny depends on how much one enjoys hearing people try to atomize each other [Note: due to popular demand, Cygnet has added a performance, Tuesday, February 7]. Worth a try.
