REVENGE: After The Levoyah (Edinburgh Preview)

Written by Nick Cassenbaum Mon 15 – Wed 17 Jul 24 60 minutes
A dish best served pickled.

Nick Cassenbaum’s two-hander comedy heist, directed by Emma Jude Harris, romps through 2018 Jewish Essex. Through madcap comedy and biting satire, this explosive tale blows the roof off what it means to be Jewish in the UK.

Twins Dan and Lauren meet ex-gangster Malcolm Spivak at their grandfather’s funeral. Malcolm, who’s ‘had enough’, enlists the siblings in a ragtag Yiddishe heist to get revenge against a certain politician.

REVENGE: After the Levoyah examines antisemitism in the diaspora, the dangers of collective hysteria, and how far a nonagenarian can throw a jar of chraine from a moving vehicle.
