Synopsis
The Comeuppance; A bitingly comic, strikingly timely satire for the stage, which asks if we can ever break free from the people we used to be.
Press Reviews
"The Comeuppance is a rich and fully mature work… a haunting new play. It’s a mystery of the fine writing that the humor does not squash but rather enhances the pathos surging underneath. When it erupts, it can be devastating."
— The New York Times
"The Comeuppance channels and condenses what’s been floating in the ether and brings it all to earth. Here’s a drama where Branden Jacobs-Jenkins both sums up and reconfigures the present moment."
— New York Magazine
"Brilliant… a worthy successor to standouts like Gloria and An Octoroon."
— New York Stage Review
"The anxiety of elder millennials as we peer over the hill is a rich source of drama, and Jacobs-Jenkins finds thrilling ways to exploit that."
— TheaterMania
