A look into The Glass Menagerie rehearsals at Gainsborough Primary School (the chairs are very small and we're very tall). The same place that sends their students to us for Yard Young Artist workshops.

Had my first visit to @theyardtheatre.bsky.social to see my remarkable friend Nicole Sawyerr & the wonderful @debrabaker33.bsky.social & Sam Armfield. I saw this at the fringe and it remains as funny & powerful as it was. So glad more people get to see it, congrats @charlottebennett.bsky.social 👏

Been playing EdFringe catch up this week by seeing a couple of award-winners from last year - Amy Gledhill (@sohotheatre.bsky.social) and My Mother's Funeral (@theyardtheatre.bsky.social). Both excellent and highly recommended; also a welcome last chance to see The Yard before its redevelopment.

Bros before shows: our neighbours Luk Bros are moving in 🥢 From 5 Feb, they’re bringing their legendary crispy dumplings and Asian bites to us. Think signature karaage, cold sesame noodles, and fresh smacked cucumber. (+ Yard Card members get 10% off) Come for the drama, stay for the dumplings 🥟

Congratulations to everyone involved in this show, a couple of moments definitely took me back to losing my mum in the most cathartic way. So tender and funny and powerful. This iteration of @theyardtheatre.bsky.social is really going out with a bang! 🎭💛

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.

Repost! Please come see our special show @theyardtheatre.bsky.social opening this Tuesday with a healthy dose of jet lag! @painesplough.bsky.social

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 👏

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) 🔗 theyardtheatre.co.uk/revenge

Revenge: After the Levoyah has exploded on the stage, and critics can't stop raving 💥 ★★★★★ "Fearless, unfiltered fantasy" & "compulsively watchable". The verdicts are in and they're unanimous. Guns, helicopters, a rabbi-turned-action-hero—what more could you want? 🔗 theyardtheatre.co.uk/revenge

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 saw this wonderfully bonkers show tonight - Mazel Tov to the cast and crew for this hilarious, East London/Essex caper. Great performances, a tight and well-timed script, and deftly staged with excellent physical comedy

Please!!!!! Revenge: After the Levoyah is THE MOST FUN I’ve had in a theatre since last time I was in the Yard Theatre for the Flea… RUN to see it I’m not kidding. Well done @emmajudeharris.bsky.social and team y’all are iconic for this

Great interview from @fergusmorgan.bsky.social in The Crush Bar with REVENGE writer @nickcassenbaum.bsky.social on Jewish identity and how a wild kidnapping comedy went from Edinburgh hit to a London must-see. Turns out family WhatsApp drama can go pretty far. 🔗 theyardtheatre.co.uk/revenge

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-...

“The first show I have seen that drags my generation’s unique grasp on British Jewish identity… kicking and screaming into the spotlight.” REVENGE: After the Levoyah is one of @exeuntmagazine.bsky.social ones to watch in 2025 👀 theyardtheatre.co.uk/events/revenge-after-the-levoyah

Last year, we introduced 250 young people to theatre-making—free of charge. Today we're launching a crowdfunder to keep their creative home open in a changing Hackney Wick. We need to raise £15K in two weeks, help us? 🔗 bit.ly/yardcrowdfunder2024
