Mancunian Rhapsody Fundraising Extravaganza!

Mancunian Rhapsody is a musical comedy about a Jewish woman, Rivki Pashinsky, whose guilty pleasure is the music of Freddie Mercury. Her son, the nerdy Rabbi Michael, plans to marry the Brooklyn born, alopecia-ridden, lisp-inflicted and overweight Devorah Feigenblum, until devastating rumours ruin everybody's plans. Religious identity, forbidden familial and sexual relationships, betrayal and the power of gossip are all showcased through parody and popular music!

The show not only satirises the extremes of Jewish life, but also the role of musical theatre itself. Debra Tammer was inspired to write the play after watching the ITV documentary Strictly Kosher. The work-in-progress of the play was the one-to-watch show as part of the Camden Fringe Theatre Festival in London 2014 and sold out every night. The show will be touring to Leeds, Manchester, London and the Edinburgh Festival for 2015.

Join us for an evening of exclusive previews and entertainment as we raise money towards our tour. Hosted by Rivki (Debra Tammer), Rabbi Michael (Tommy Burgess) and their exhausted director (Rachel Creeger).
