NotMoses
  • West End

Award winning film-maker Gary Sinyor has written and will direct his first play, NotMoses, previewing at the Arts Theatre from 10 March 2016, with press night on 15 March 2016. NotMoses is designed by Carla Goodman with lighting by Humphrey McDermott.

Casting and the full production team will be announced shortly.

Don't miss the hilarious new play, NotMoses, when it makes its world premiere at the Arts Theatre from 10 March 2016. Written and directed by the award-winning filmmaker Gary Sinyor, this wildly irreverent new comedy runs for a strictly limited 10-week season.

Set in Ancient Egypt, NotMoses is the story of a crying baby who is plucked from his basket by a Princess only to be dumped back in the Nile when she sees a nicer baby, Moses. NotMoses grows up a disgruntled slave whilst Prince Moses studies accountancy at Pharaoh's court. When both men are forced to flee into the Sinai desert, they make kebabs on the burning bush before the Good Lord himself orders them to lead the Jews out of bondage and into a land full of cows and bees. Eventually, it's the alluring Miriam - a woman! - who leads the Exodus.

NotMoses is an important work that answers the question that has troubled mankind throughout the ages: Does oral sex constitute adultery? Destined to end up in a drawer in every hotel room in the world, there's only one play in town where you can experience the wonder of the ten plagues (even if they are mainly offstage).

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society.
