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?

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...

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 👏

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.

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

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. Read/subscribe: thecrushbar.substack.com/p/i-thought-...

"I thought: ‘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.

If you are Jewish you’ll get some of the more subtle and esoteric jokes and if you’re not you probably won’t but you’ll enjoy the sheer energy everyone brings to the stage.
