"Imagining Madoff is an outstanding piece of theatre....an excellent and intriguing play...superb acting talents."

"Anyone telling me that Kissel’s performance isn’t one of the absolute best on a Manhattan stage right now will have an argument on his or her hands."
- David Finkle, New York Stage Review
"Jeremiah Kissel swaggering in a power suit gleefully gives us the ballsy Madoff we desire ...Gerry Bamman is drolly commanding ...Jenny Allen is entrancing."
- Darryl Reilly, TheaterScene.net
"Obie-winning Deb Margolin's brainy take on the greatest financial swindler of our times...sharply directed by Jerry Heymann."
- Samuel Leiter, Theater Pizzazz

About the Play
​
Imagining Madoff finds Ponzi schemer Bernard Madoff in prison, determined to control his own narrative for history as he dictates to a visiting biographer stories about his childhood, his family, women, money and an all-night meeting he had with Holocaust survivor and poet, Solomon Galkin. Considered both “intriguingly exercised” (Washington Post) and “rich with dramatic tension” (Tampa Bay Times), the play explores themes of greed, willful blindness to the truth, and the beauty and danger of absolute faith, either in God or in men.
