On today’s episode, Matt Tamanini is in conversation with two of the stars of the upcoming Off-Broadway play “Aftermath,” Steven Skybell and Jill Stern. Not only do the two play a married couple in the show, but they have been friends for nearly five decades, and it was Jill who got Steven on board the project, as she is not only an actor in the show but also a producer.
“Aftermath” — which begins performances on Monday, Oct. 19, at the Mezzanine Theatre at A.R.T./New York Theatres — follows 28-year-old freelance journalist Josh Goldman (played by Danny Kornfeld), who has just survived a Taliban kidnapping in Afghanistan and is now recovering in his childhood home with his parents (Skybell and Stern).
As Josh struggles to reconnect with his family and make sense of what he’s endured, we learn how the young journalist found the courage to take on his most dangerous assignment, and at what cost. This timely drama examines questions of moral responsibility, privilege, and sacrifice in the context of global political conflict and family ties.
