Roll up, roll up, it's the Jews' fault

If you fancy a good old dollop of anti-semitism, you could do worse than pop along to the Royal Lyceum in Edinburgh between 22-28 August:

Prayer Room by Shan Khan

Performed in English

World Premiere

BIRMINGHAM REPERTORY THEATRE COMPANY

In co-production with the Edinburgh International Festival

Director Angus Jackson
Designer Lucy Osbourne
Composer Alex Gallafent
Lighting Neil Austin

A witty and provocative new play about multicultural life, commissioned by the Festival from the Scottish playwright Shan Khan.

There was a place, where The Christians and The Muslims existed in relative peace. Everyone was more or less happy, except for The Jews - who were few and had to be thankful to their Christian Overlords, for the little space they were accorded.

Then one day more Jews came, and it soon became apparent to them that they'd need their own space. So they got their own space - but at The Muslims' expense. The Muslims of course are fuming. The Jews feel they're perfectly within their rights. And The Christians are trying to take a back-seat and let the other two share the blame. This place is a multi-faith Prayer Room in a British college.

Yes, it really does say that:

The Christians and The Muslims existed in relative peace. Everyone was more or less happy, except for The Jews...Then one day more Jews came, and it soon became apparent to them that they'd need their own space. So they got their own space - but at The Muslims' expense.

I assume there's a discount for block bookings. Perhaps the Vatican or Entz Manager for Hizb ut-Tahrir might organise a trip.
