SYNOPSIS
It’s the winter of 2040, and the world has changed – but maybe not by much. Timothy’s wife has just left him, and he isn’t taking it well. His sisters, Tara and Kris, are trying to help him cope while wrestling with their own lives and loves. The three of them seem to spend a lot of time in their basements, and the kids are starting to ask questions. This subterranean comedy explores how one family hangs on when technology fails and communication breaks down.
REVIEWS
THEATERMANIA:
"Judy is a throwback to the absurdism of Samuel Beckett and Jean Genet: Not much happens, meaning that the experience is contingent upon interesting performances that can illuminate the linguistic gems buried in the text."
TIME OUT NEW YORK:
"Director Ken Rus Schmoll has assembled a downtown dream team—the piece could have been written for these actors."
