Revenge: After the Levoyah
9 January - 1 February 2025
About
2019. Jewish Essex. One funeral. Two twins. And a 80-year-old ex-gangster with a plan that’s absolutely meshugge.
Malcolm Spivak’s had enough. Fresh from their grandfather’s funeral, he corners twins Dan and Lauren with a proposition: help him kidnap Jeremy Corbyn. Yes, really. What follows is a chaotic Jewish heist comedy that blends madcap comedy and biting political satire.
Nick Cassenbaum’s (Fringe First winner and Popcorn Writer's Award nominee) explosive ★★★★★ show, directed by Emma Jude Harris (Stage's Fringe Five 2024), tears through antisemitism in the diaspora, the dangers of collective hysteria, and how far you can throw a jar of chraine from a moving vehicle.

“Wickedly irreverent when it needs to be and raw and deeply impactful when necessary.”

“A brilliantly perceptive but brutally unforgiving show that dares to tackle pitch-black subjects with fiery humour.”
