by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins
directed by Morgan Green
A Co-Production with Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company
November 19 – December 14, 2024
From the boundary pushing, Tony Award-winning playwright Branden Jacobs-Jenkins (An Octoroon), this electrifying comedy is a meditation on impermanence, nostalgia, and isolation. Anticipating their 20-year high school reunion, fueled by adult jungle juice and pot, four former classmates reminisce at a porch pre-party that hangs on a porous border with the other side. Directed with wit and heart by Co-Artistic Director Morgan Green (filmed version of Fat Ham, School Pictures, Eternal Life Part 1), The Comeuppance features the Wilma’s HotHouse in collaboration with Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company.
