Big podcast recommend for the fascinating @cockneyyiddish.bsky.social. Shifting language, radical protest, saucy new lives, songs and stories (read wonderfully by Miriam Margolyes & Nick Cassenbaum): and that's just the first 2 episodes. What's not to love?

Stories across the Jewish diaspora from Egyptian refugees to a renewed community in Cornwall.

Absolutely loved Machloket (a disagreement for a greater good) at the @royalcourt.bsky.social

Huge applause to @tashhyman.bsky.social @nickcassenbaum.bsky.social for spotlighting range of Jewish voices.

It’s 1889 and Morris Winchevsky, East End Yiddish poet, imagines inspiring London workers with revolutionary fire. We discuss his protest anthems and poetry on The Cockney Yiddish Podcast ep.2 pod.fo/e/2b140b

Revenge: After the Levoyah. That's it. Sold out.

Our DMs wouldn't stop pinging, so we added 5 extra shows. Now they're gone too. Returns only, or try your luck at the door. Good things come to those who queue.

Very much enjoyed Revenge: After the Levoyah at @theyardtheatre.bsky.social (as mentioned in this week's Exeunt) - very funny, very silly, and subtly very smart on lots of complicated stuff. I also enjoyed how hard @tommofowler.bsky.social laughed at the pivotal role chrain played in the getaway...

A free sheet for the show, Revenge: After the Levoyah, in the foreground, with the set beyond that, made up of a table and two chairs, shelving units, and white boards covered in fabric.

There’s a rich, shimmering atmosphere in the room when catching Revenge: After the Levoyah @theyardtheatre.bsky.social; we’re thrown into this story with Lauren (Gemma Barnett) and Dan (Dylan Corbett-Bader) who are both impeccable at comic timing and switching between the most absurd characters πŸ‘

And yesterday: Revenge: After the Levoyah at the Yard Theatre in Hackney Wick. Really funny and I think there was a serious point about antisemitism in London/Essex in there too. Also just a really nice experience visiting that theatre in general - looking forward to when it has more toilets though.

Our phones haven’t stopped. The critics are raving. There are only 10 seats left. We’ve heard you loud and clear.

So here’s five extra performances of REVENGE: After the Levoyah, but they’re already filling up fast (we’re not joking around)

Review: Revenge: After the Levoyah, The Yard Theatre - Everything Theatre A jet black Ealing comedy for the 21st century, performed beautifully by its two remarkable leads.

A pitch black Ealing comedy for the 21st Century, I really can't recommend Revenge: After the Levoyah highly enough. everything-theatre.co.uk/2025/01/revi...

Tonight we let the chaos loose. It’s press night for Revenge: After the Levoyah.

To our brilliant team, you’ve created something electric. The energy you bring to this show is exactly what theatre should be. And London already knows (aka packed houses and tickets moving fast).

Critics, buckle up 😈

Well, Revenge: After the Levoyah @theyardtheatre.bsky.social is very much fun. Virtuoso full body performances by Gemma Barnett & Dylan Corbett-Bader. Bad bad Jews. Bad everyone else tbh. Horseradish as weaponry. What's not to enjoy?

Going to miss the @theyardtheatre.bsky.social when it starts construction, last night's production of After the Levoyah was fantastic, hilarious, and the kind of show that we discussed the whole way home

"I thought: β€˜Where could all this go?' And that led to the idea of someone kidnapping Jeremy Corbyn." Playwright and performer Nick Cassenbaum on his acclaimed comedy about two young, Jewish siblings snatching the former Labour leader. Plus: three shows to see next week.

Here's The Crush Bar's first interview of 2025, with @nickcassenbaum.bsky.social, writer of Revenge: After The Levoyah, which runs @theyardtheatre.bsky.social until Jan 25. A wonderfully silly show about a very serious subject.
