Reviews

A collection of our favorite reviews from professional news sources.

"'Bad Jews' is delicious, nasty fun, especially in Tracee Chimo’s expert hands. Her Daphna stares at her opponents with such calculating intensity, you can almost see her brain whirring."

The New York Post

Elisabeth Vincentelli

"[Daphna] is a monster of many unlovely parts, all minutely examined and bravely presented in a fierce perf from Tracee Chimo."

Variety

Marilyn Stasio

"Ultimately, it’s a stunningly knowing work that sent me out of the theater on a cloud of pure exhilaration."

Backstage

Erik Haagensen

"...for most of its 100-minute running time, 'Bad Jews' seasons the fierce battle between Daphna and Liam with enough sharp humor and smart writing to keep us engaged in their fight for moral supremacy."
