REVENGE: AFTER THE LEVOYAH
Written by Nick Cassenbaum
Directed by Emma Jude Harris
- 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. He corners twins Dan and Lauren, fresh from their grandfather’s funeral, 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.
Following two sell-out runs at The Yard Theatre in 2025, and Edinburgh Fringe (Summerhall) in 2024 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.

Reviews
★★★★★
“In one cathartic hour and with two pitch-perfect performances directed by Emma Jude Harris, any residual Jewish anxiety from one of the darkest periods for the community evaporates.”
Jewish Chronicle★★★★★
“Wickedly irreverent when it needs to be and raw and deeply impactful when necessary.”
Theatre Weekly★★★★★
“A brilliantly perceptive but brutally unforgiving show that dares to tackle pitch-black subjects with fiery humour.”
The Arts Desk★★★★★
“Proving the four corners of the sky are the only limits for what is possible on stage.”
