About REVENGE: AFTER THE LEVOYAH
Written by Nick Cassenbaum
Directed by Emma Jude Harris
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. 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 multiple sell-out runs (The Yard Theatre, 2025; Summerhall, Edinburgh Fringe 2024), this explosive ★★★★★ show written by Nick Cassenbaum (Fringe First winner and Popcorn Writer's Award nominee) and directed by Emma Jude Harris (The Stage's Fringe Five 2024) tours the Southeast. REVENGE: After the Levoyah 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.
Die Hard, Schmiehard. We’ve got pickles.
An astounding new piece of theatre
Jewish Renaissance
“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
Perfectly crafted, polished performances, and tightly written—a sensational success.
Corr Blimey
A frenzied hilarious treat for the imagination
The Scotsman
A brilliantly perceptive but brutally unforgiving show that dares to tackle pitch-black subjects with fiery humour.
The Arts Desk
Like a two person Guy Ritchie film
The Stage
Wickedly irreverent
