The Spoils Reunion Reading
by Jesse Eisenberg
July 30, 2020
This Reunion Reading was available to stream until April 25, 2021.
Overview
In The Spoils, nobody likes Ben (Jesse Eisenberg). Ben doesn’t even like Ben. He’s been kicked out of grad school, lives off his parents’ money, and bullies everyone in his life, including his roommate Kalyan (Kunal Nayyar), an earnest Nepalese immigrant. When Ben discovers that his grade school crush is marrying a straight-laced banker, he sets out to destroy their relationship and win her back. This play contains adult themes.
