"Eloquence, tension and wit" The Guardian
When a group of old classmates meet to pregame their twentieth high school reunion, everyone is nervous for the night ahead. As alcohol and pot help the self-declared “Multi-Ethnic Reject Group” let their guards down, they begin to reminisce about their teenage selves and reveal how their lives have unfolded since graduation. Did their friendships stand the test of time, or will they realize they don’t have as much in common as they thought they did? Brilliantly witty, theatrical, and moving, The Comeuppance focuses on millennials and their reckoning with the world they will soon inherit.
“The Comeuppance is a rich and fully mature work…a haunting new play.”
The New York Times
Branden Jacobs-Jenkins is an American playwright. His play Purpose won the 2025 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The Comeuppance won the 2024 Lortel Award for Outstanding Play, and was a New York Times Critic's Pick.
