The wrong sort of Jew – a crowdfunder
JVL Introduction
We’d like to draw to your attention to this project, already quite advanced, to produce a play about “the wrong sort of Jew”.
It is a reality we in Jewish Voice for Labour are all too familiar with, and many of our members have been interviewed as part of it.
Theatre venues have not exactly been rushing forward to offer their encouragement and support, but those who conceived it are determined to press ahead.
This crowdfunder has specific objective, to enable a partial staging of the play in early spring, with a view to a bigger production to follow.
We urge you to give whatever support you can. Please donate

The Wrong Sort of Jew
Weʼre raising £5,000 to fund a play based on interviews with Jewish members of the Labour Party most of whom have been maliciously accused of antisemitism.

As a playwright and ex-Labour member, I support this project with all my heart. I will make a donation – I’m not wealthy, I wish it could be more – and hope that one day soon I will sit in the audience and watch this play. Because Life makes the best Theatre, and telling the truth in a world of lies is more vital than ever.
Where is the link for donations?

So glad there will be a counterblast to Baddiel’s awful stuff… I will donate, but please can you find any younger Wrong Kinds of Jew to participate?

Have you tried applying to the Arts Council for funding? Let me have a think about possible venues for the show. One might be Teatro Technis in Crowndale Road, almost opposite Starmer’s LP Office? They hosted Jackie Walker’s The Lynching a couple of years back. Otherwise, you could find a ‘found space’ – in a warehouse, old factory etc….
I’m sorry John, I’m not with you. My skin colour may be white but my family are multi- ethnic mongrels; my dad gypsy, my sister’s skin colour is black. so too the mother of my son. I believe that BLM is a racist movement & actively discriminates against white working class. The struggle for equality is a class issue, not racial, however much the Guardian may preach otherwise.
If this purge, reminiscent of Stalinist USSR, were not actually happening it would be beyond even the wit of Lewis Carol. I hope your playwright has a good sense of humour because ridicule is a very effective instrument in exposing the absurdity of Labour Party expulsions. It would be really funny if it weren’t so serious. Good Luck to everyone – you deserve it.
Islington North and JC should host it, get the invites out to the great and the good
Invite the the most notorious AS Scammers, name and shame them in the play, with Al Jazeera behind you, work their legal department to get the protection you need, ask them to record it for you during rehearsals and put out in a special programme, they will cover your opening night live
Use all Left wing media to create a Twitter storm, any attempt to stop you this time will be free publicity
Keep key information on a need to know basis
Break a leg
For the venue look at ‘Little Theatres’ they are fiercely independent and therefore harder to intimidate
Amanda – older people are their main target –
and the fact that these may not be in good health
makes no difference whatsoever !
Sounds great, can you post a link to the crowdfunder?
