About this event
2019. Jewish Essex. One funeral. Two twins. And an 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.
