Antisemitism is the story of an Israeli Jew’s first 24 hours on British soil. Arriving in pursuit of a calm life, our unsuspecting hero is thrown into a wild journey full of absurd characters — his bickering aunts in Finchley, a drunken lord and a couple of kidnappers who think they’ve captured Uri Geller for ransom.
Will he learn a deep lesson about identity, power and privilege?
Will he find the meaning of Jewishness?
Will he unpack the mysteries of British subtext and euphemism?
Will everyone just leave him alone?
Sure to get under everyone’s skin, Antisemitism tackles one of the most explosive topics in British politics through song and dance. A fast-paced political satire that uses Jewish humour and genre-bending music to produce a nuanced, fierce depiction of new-old hate from the perspective of the eternal outsider/insider: the wandering Jew.
Join us to get between the brackets of Antisemitism: a (((musical))). In an open post-show conversation with the creative team behind this outrageous show, we'll talk about music, theatre, antisemitism, how we put them together and why. Come to hear more about the process of making the work, to ask questions, and to share your thoughts and experience.
“Such a crucial part of the UK theatre ecology… Developing artists and audiences”
