Nick Cassenbaum is a playwright whose work seeks to build a whole world through storytelling, collaboration and humour. He makes Jewish work which is simultaneously unforgivingly Jewish and undeniably British.
Summer is a time for fun. A time for romance. A time for possibility. A time when dreams become reality.
Return to ten special days in July 2007, as a group of Jewish teenagers experience a host of new things: being away from their parents for more than 12 hours for the first time, snogging for the first time, and re-enacting the Raid of Entebbe…for the first time.
REBELLION: After the B’nei Mitzvahs explores the struggle between building a national identity and getting laid.
The play will be informed by interviews taken by people who went on these kind of Summer Camps.
Direction/dramaturgy by Emma Jude Harris. This is their second collaboration since the Fringe First winning, sell out show REVENGE: After the Levoyah.
This residency is supported in collaboration with Tsitsit Fringe Festival.
