Jenny Rachel Weiner
Our new, digital world is upended in Kingdom Come,Jenny Rachel Weiner's blisteringly funny and all-too-relatable comedy about what happens when the feelings are real, but the people are not.
Samantha is lonely and confined to her bed. Layne is shy and too afraid of the world to journey into it. But when these two thirty-somethings connect through an online dating site, they fall for each other fast and hard. What could go wrong? Considering that they’re both pretending to be someone else, the short answer is: everything. When people are free to project any version of themselves they wish, who knows where reality ends and fantasy begins? Our new, digital world is upended in Kingdom Come, Jenny Rachel Weiner’s blisteringly funny and all-too-relatable comedy about what happens when the feelings are real, but the people are not.
Kingdom Come premiered at the Rouandabout Theatre as a part of the Roundabout Underground programming in New York City in November 2016 under the direction of Kip Fagan.
