Revenge: After the Levoyah
21 October - 24 January 2025
About
REVENGE: After the Levoyah is back.
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.

THE TOUR

“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."
