favourite bath song


"‘East Stepney, east StepNEY!’ is the favourite childrens’ bath song of the moment in our house… It’s a risqué song that goes over their heads, but it’s so irrepressibly catchy to sing along ‘every Sadie is a lady and every Sam a gent.’ They remembered it immediately. And we really loved the new material and presentation: very well done indeed."
Nadia Valman [Lecturer in East End literature. Queen Mary College]


"Entertaining and educational.  An event to be remembered."       
Julie Holmes

Vibrant

"vibrant, full of energy and wit - beautifully performed and infectiously enthusiastic; we left, back into a world that suddenly felt a lot less bleak."           
Davina Cooper [law professor]    

SERIOUS


"The perfect mix of serious historical research and a fun, funk & fabulous performance !" 
Lloica Czackis [yiddish tango singer]

Accessible

"katsh'nes take you on a genuinely fascinating and extremely accessible journey through the dark, dirty, satirical world of the London Yiddish music hall of the turn of the 19th century. A highly recommended evening out."             
Rachel Weston [yiddish folk singer]

unclassifiable delight

"Katshanes are a quartet of four brilliantly talented women who bring the Edwardian Jewish Music Hall triumphantly into the 21st Century.  Music, theatre, history, fly with elan into a contemporary show bringing the Jewish immigrant experience into the multi ethnic present, Music Hall travesti to 21st century gender bending. It’s an unclassifiable delight!" 
Nico Pollen
