Theater Up Close The Comeuppance

By Branden Jacobs-Jenkins
Directed by Stuart Meltzer
Florida Premiere

In The Comeuppance, an off-Broadway hit by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins (“one of this country's most original and illuminating writers" according to The New York Times), a self-proclaimed "Multi-Ethnic Reject Group" reconvenes for their 20th high school reunion. Over alcohol and other substances, they try to reconnect who they once were with whom they've become as they reminisce about their teenage selves and reveal how their lives have unfolded since graduation. Brilliantly witty, theatrical and moving, The Comeuppance focuses on millennials and their reckoning with the world they will soon inherit. A New York Times Criticʼs Pick.
