Tony Award-winning playwright Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’
"The Comeuppance" is currently
captivating audiences at The Wilma Theater. Running through December 8, this
electrifying comedy is a meditation on impermanence, nostalgia, and
isolation.
Set in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, this expertly balanced play weaves the levity of early aughts music, dancing and friendship into dark themes of grief, war, and mortality. The characters go in and out of enjoying each other's company and questioning their friendships, reunion attendance, and life choices.
Directed by Co-Artistic Director Morgan Green and featuring the Wilma’s HotHouse ensemble in
collaboration with Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company, The Comeuppance
brings Jacobs-Jenkins’ signature wit and depth to a modern twist on the
medieval danse macabre — or “dance of death.”
The cast of "The Comeuppance" invites audiences to join them this fall in laughing at
the things that scare us most and reflecting on the joy and heartbreak of being human.
