Jew...ish 2021

The twisted millennial romcom absolutely no-one asked for!

Thanks to the generous support of our audiences and the UK Government’s Cultural Recovery Fund, we’re able to guarantee that over 50% of the value of your ticket for any Plays On Film production will go directly to the artists and companies involved at this difficult time for freelancers across the entertainment industry

“It was a total nightmare from beginning to end. The worst thing is, I think I learned guilt from him. Can you learn guilt?”

Unleash the Llama are proud to present the long awaited return of the ★★★★★ sell-out “hilarious”, Jew...ish, filmed in high definition by the award-winning Shoot Media as part of King’s Head Theatre’s digital on demand season, Plays On Film.

The twisted millennial romcom that absolutely no-one asked for, Jew...ish struck a resounding chord with audiences in smash-hit live runs in London and at the Edinburgh Fringe and was nominated for an Offies OFFCOMM award.

TJ and Max are in love; with polyamory, substance-abuse on the Portobello Road and sexually-charged debates about Israel-Palestine. Occasionally even with each other. There's just one thing: Max is Jewish. TJ isn't. 

Watch as these mortal ‘frenemies’ navigate the cultural divide - amid death, pegging, and two millennia of inherited trauma - in this laugh-out-loud two-hander which asks the ultimate question: is it ever OK to get back with your ex?

Available to watch on demand via our new streaming service, KHTV, from Thursday 15 April 2021.
