SpeakEasy Stage Company’s latest production, Bad Jews, opens this weekend. Described as a seriously smart comedy about family, faith and legacy, this play has caught my attention. Tickets are already on sale and performances start this Friday, October 24th.
Bad Jews October 24 – November 29

The “playwright” Josh is at best a pig.
I am a son of Holocaust survivors – and yes, a Jew – and yes, we at times yell and scream at one another.
As does every family.
A truth point is that not only in my family – but many others – in the selection lines there were rumblings about who should go – creating many interesting conversations and bickering moments. No one wanted to die. No one wanted any other person to die either.
No one ever thought this would be the outcome. In Yiddish it is expressed as: A shandeh un a charpeh.
In English the rough translation is – a shameful pig.
The author was funded first by the Presbyterian Lila Acheson Wallace – founder of Reader’s Digest – the same “magazine” found in bathrooms around the world.
At the best the author is a sell out – all artists with a soul look at the source of funding and those who take funding from persons or entities who dam your existence usually move on.
Not Joshua – he is an opportunist.
His opportunity has come and THANKFULLY gone.
I am sure that this week he has been boycotting the Met Opera production of John Adams’ Klinghoffer opera.
Oh, wait!!! Little Josh is no where to be found. Imagine that!
Hmmmmmm
And for Rebecca and the Huntington – they will in short time see the JewMoney flee – oh, wait – the money has gone already. And the program has been so supported by the Boston Brahman to the point year in and year out the program begs the state coffers for assistance out of one side of the mouth while at the other side they spew despise any artist that needs funding.
And if you find out that the sell out Josh is coming to town – BU / The Huntington says he is not — let me know.
I’d like to have a glass of tea with him. I’ll bring the cubes.
If he even knows what that means. Probably not – it is a Jewish thing.
