Actors Express to Present Reading of Joshua Harmon's IVANKA: A MEDEA FOR RIGHT NOW 10/30
Actor's Express presents a reading of Joshua Harmon's comedy Ivanka: A Medea for Right Now for a one-night special engagement on October 30, 2016 at 7 PM. Directed by A. Julian Verner, this performance is free and open to the public.
As her blustering father gets closer to the White House, Ivanka has finally had it with his terrifying rhetoric. When she publicly disavows him, he throws her into exile, forcing her to take drastic measures. In this savage satire, playwright Joshua Harmon (Bad Jews) hilariously confronts the nature of loyalty and the barbarism of American politics.
Joshua Harmon's plays include Bad Jews (Outer Critics Circle and Lucille Lortel nominations, Best Play) and Significant Other, both of which had their world premieres at the Roundabout Theatre. Bad Jews has been produced in Australia, Canada, Israel and South Africa. His plays have also been produced and developed by Manhattan Theatre Club, The O'Neill, Williamstown Theatre Festival, Hangar Theatre and Actor's Express, where he was the 2010-2011 National New Play Network Playwright-in-Residence. Fellowships include MacDowell, Atlantic Center for the Arts, SPACE at Ryder Farm and the Eudora Welty Foundation. A graduate of Juilliard, he is under commission from Roundabout and Lincoln Center.
