REVENGE: After the Levoyah by Nick Cassenbaum
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 *'Biting and satirical, with sharp humour and a fast-paced plot... delicious'
* Reviews Hub *'Joyful... Nick Cassenbaum's script is proper funny stuff... every 10 seconds there is another exceptional joke coming to smack you in the face'
* All That Dazzles *'Magnificent... Nick Cassenbaum balances the ludicrous with the serious... extremely funny... truly brilliant'
* Theatre & Tonic *'Unmissable.... A jet black Ealing comedy for the 21st century'
* Everything Theatre *'A fearless, unfiltered fantasy... wildly successful'
* Jewish Chronicle *'An exciting, fast-paced, incredibly funny, yet refreshingly thoughtful piece of new theatre. Nick Cassembaum's script spits and crackles with chutzpah'
* A Youngish Perspective *Nick Cassenbaum is a theatre-maker, playwright, performer and participatory artist, whose 'unforgivingly Jewish and undeniably British' work has toured internationally.
