The weird, the wild, the wonderful and occasionally the fairly conventional in Fringe theatre can all be experienced across the many idiosyncratic spaces of Summerhall. The Anatomy Lecture Theatre is a reminder of its former incarnation as a veterinary school but of an afternoon this August it is the scene of a fictional plot to kidnap and kill Jeremy Corbyn.

Nick Cassenbaum’s REVENGE: After the Levoyah **** is an action comedy two-hander set during Corbyn’s leadership when allegations of anti-semitism within the Labour party fuelled a climate of fear among London’s Jewish community. Twins Dan and Lauren are unwittingly caught up in a criminal enterprise which escalates entertainingly into a full-on heist caper.

Performers Gemma Barnett and Dylan Corbett-Bader gleefully inhabit a host of motley characters, including ringleader Malcolm Spivak, a gangsta Holocaust survivor, a liberal rabbi and members of various international security forces across a riotous hour with some timely satirical points to make about the relationship between prejudice and hysteria.

According to Bellringers *** we may be in the end times. The climate is in uproar and across the land those who are able are charged with ringing church bells in the hopes of warding off the apocalypse. As the storm approaches, Clement and Aspinall are isolated in their belfry and can only wait, debate and imagine their fate with Waiting For Godot-style uncertainty.

Revenge: After the Levoyah, Summerhall, 13.15, until August 26

Bellringers, Summerhall, 15.00, Until August 26
