Philadelphia's Walnut Street Theatre has extended its run of Joshua Harmon's Bad Jews through December 28.

Directed by David Stradley, the dark comedy follows two cousins, Daphna and Liam, who are engaged in a potentially relationship-ending argument over the possession of their late grandfather's prized Chai necklace.

Bad Jews had its world premiere off-Broadway with Roundabout Theatre Company's Roundabout Underground in fall 2012 and has gone on to become one of the most-produced new plays in America.

The Walnut Street cast stars Sofie Yavorsky as Daphna, Davy Raphaely as Liam, Greg Fallick as Liam's brother Jonah, and Laura Giknis as Liam’s girlfriend Melody.
