As their tenuous relationship develops, she reveals details about her complicated post-war past that test their ideas of what it means to be a family.

The Revisionist

"Jesse Eisenberg has quietly established himself as an off-Broadway scribe."--Lizzie Simon, Wall Street Journal

Happy Talk

Nobody likes Ben. Even Ben doesn't like Ben. He bullies everyone in his life, including his roommate Kalyan, an earnest Nepalese immigrant. When Ben discovers that his school crush is marrying a straight-laced banker, he sets out to destroy their relationship and win her back. Jesse Eisenberg's The Spoils was first produced by the New Group in New York. It was transferred by Lisa Matlin and Ambassador Theatre Group to Trafalgar Studios, London, where it received its UK premiere in May 2016.

The Spoils

Un garçon de neuf ans qui écrit des critiques gastronomiques, une étudiante obsédée par le génocide bosniaque qui s’immisce dans la vie amoureuse de son jeune frère, un adepte de la théorie des genres qui tente de séduire une femme dans un bar... : autant d’asociaux notoires que nous livre Jesse Eisenberg dans des situations farfelues, parfois cocaces, avec toujours beaucoup d’humour et qui révèlent une subtile représentation de notre monde. Traduit de l’anglais par Antoine Chainas
