David Jenkins’ comedy paints a timely portrait of the cutthroat world of finance.
New Jersey Repertory Company will offer the New Jersey premiere of David Jenkins' new comedy Middlemen. The production is scheduled to run from November 7-December 8.
Middlemen highlights the cynicism and corruption that has come to define the modern-day Wall Street environment. Set in a desolate 60-floor office tower, middle manager Stan (Duncan Rogers) and fiscal analyst Michael (David Friedlander) obliviously slog through an exhaustive annual report as, one by one, their coworkers mysteriously disappear.
Jenkins, a founding member and the artistic director of the New York City-based theater ensemble Human Animals, premiered Middlemen with his company in 2009. Marc Geller will direct the NJ Rep production.
