Why do Jews complain so well? 

Writer and academic Devorah Baum, author of The Jewish Joke and Feeling Jewish, explores the cultural history of the Jewish kvetch, from Yiddish language, family dynamics and argument to self-deprecation, stereotypes and the strange pleasure of having something to grumble about.

A lively, thoughtful look at how complaint can become humour, intimacy, criticism and even a way of making sense of what we cannot control.

£20, age 13+
