2019. Jewish Essex. One funeral. Two twins. And a 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 five-star 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.

Wickedly irreverent when it needs to be and raw and deeply impactful when necessary.

Theatre Weekly ★★★★★

In one cathartic hour and with two pitch-perfect performances directed by Emma Jude Harris, any residual Jewish anxiety from one of the darkest periods for the community evaporates.

Jewish Chronicle ★★★★★

A brilliantly perceptive but brutally unforgiving show that dares to tackle pitch-black subjects with fiery humour.

The Arts Desk ★★★★★

A frenzied hilarious treat for the imagination.

The Scotsman ★★★★★

Proving the four corners of the sky are the only limits for what is possible on stage.
