Why See The Spoils?

PlaysStars on Stage

Starring Jesse Eisenberg and Kunal Nayyar!

Playwright and actor Jesse Eisenberg, known for his portrayal of Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network and indie movies such as Zombieland and the Double, makes his West End debut with the world premier of his new play, The Spoils. He stars alongside Kunal Nayyar, best known for his role as the outspoken Raj on the hit sitcom, The Big Bang Theory, Alfie Allen, Annapurna Sriram and Katie Brayben!

Directed by Scott Elliot, The Spoils is a deeply personal look at Ben, a bully, who leaves a trail of destruction in his wake after being thrown out of grad school. Whilst living off his parent's money, he is generally disliked, even by himself. But when he discovers an ex-crush is marrying a clean-cut banker, he takes on the project of destroying their relationship and winning her back. The Spoils promises to be a darkly comic look at a particular, disenfranchised young man.

What we thought

Fantastic commendable SUBTLE

Eisenberg weaves black humour amongst well crafted and realistic portrayals of relationships

Jesse Eisenberg’s London transfer of The Spoils features a modern anti-hero at odds with his surroundings and himself, caught between the fickle and merciless Gods of narcissism, apathy and societal expectation.
