• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

At their grandfather's funeral in Essex, twins Dan and Lauren meet Malcolm Spivack, a disgruntled eighty-year-old Jewish ex-gangster with a plan that's absolutely meshugge. What ensues is a ragtag Yiddishe heist to kidnap a certain leader of the Labour Party and hold him accountable for all the antisemitic ailments of the diaspora... and anything else they can think of... REVENGE: After the Levoyah is a daring satire about antisemitism, the dangers of collective hysteria, and how far a nonagenarian can throw a jar of chraine from a moving vehicle. Revenge is a dish best served pickled. Written by Nick Cassenbaum and directed by Emma Jude Harris, it was first performed at Summerhall during the 2024 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where it won a Fringe First Award and a Summerhall Lustrum Award, and transferred to The Yard Theatre, London, in 2025. 'A frenzied, hilarious treat for the imagination... absolutely masterful, a breakneck, frequently laugh-out-loud caper' - Scotsman 'Riotously funny... unfolds like a two-person Guy Ritchie film' - The Stage 'A brilliantly perceptive but brutally unforgiving show that dares to tackle pitch-black subjects with fiery humour' - Arts Desk 'An audacious, irreverent blast of a comedy... an ingenious heist movie parody that's also a deft exploration of being Jewish today' - Guardian
