Broadway World: "The Young and the Rest of Us" Debuts at Group Rep Theatre with Dark Comedy Mystery

Group Rep Theatre will present Tamir Yardenne's new play, a dark comedy exploring the chaotic world of a fictional soap opera.

Playwright Tamir Yardenne brings The Young and the Rest of Us, a new dark comedy mystery set behind the scenes of a fictional daytime drama, to the stage at the Group Repertory Theatre. The play is directed by Douglas Jewell and produced by Susan Carey Heenan for the Group Rep. Daytime TV goes off the rails in this wickedly funny murder mystery: stylish, darkly unhinged, and fueled by ambition, power, and deceit. An Emmy is up for grabs.

About the Play

Set during an Emmy nomination celebration for a long-running soap opera, the play begins when a cast member announces she plans to expose everyone's secrets. 34 minutes later, she's found dead — and suddenly the glamorous world behind the show is full of suspects. As rivalries, affairs, and hidden agendas surface, the characters scramble to uncover the truth before the scandal destroys them all.

Inspired by classic whodunits in the spirit of Agatha Christie, The Young and the Rest of Us blends theatrical mystery with biting Hollywood satire. The play pulls back the curtain on fame, ego, and the chaos that can unfold when actors stop pretending.

"Stylish, darkly unhinged, and fueled by ambition, power, and deceit. An Emmy is up for grabs."
