BAD JEWS is a poorly conceived play with a title that is a put-off for many and may well be misleading.

The unfortunately titled BAD JEWS is billed as a comedy, but at Actors’ Summit, the intermissionless play feels a lot more like a heavy drama with its 90 minutes of relentless insults between two key characters. ...
We end up feeling embroiled in the family battle, but we don’t experience a lot of laughs.

In short, the play is an unnatural experience that fans of film noir might appreciate with a collection of characters that you will find hard to like, much less love.
