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.
Nick Cassenbaum is a theatre-maker, playwright, performer and participatory artist, whose 'unforgivingly Jewish and undeniably British' work has toured internationally.
