Nick Cassenbaum

Hello, and welcome to my website. I hope you are sitting comfortably, or standing somewhere nice or at least having an OK day. You are here...so here is a little about me. From cutting my teeth in street theatre to moving indoors I have always strove to make work that is funny, political, silly and accessible. That does not allow an audience to sit and relax but has them on the edge of their seat. Work that seeks to build a whole world through storytelling, collaboration and humour. I often make Jewish work which is simultaneously unforgivingly Jewish and undeniably British. It is work that Jewish audiences can claim as theirs whilst bringing in and making non Jewish people feel welcome and maybe even a bit Jewish. I believe in the universality of specifics. And after all... you don’t need to be an elf to enjoy Lord of the Rings. I have toured my work to major cities and also to the most rural of places. My work has been seen and enjoyed by all sorts of people.
