Does oral sex constitute adultery? NotMoses, ‘a comedy of biblical proportions’, has the answer

NotMoses, written and directed by Gary Sinyor, premieres at the Arts Theatre on 10 March 2016, with Antonia Davies as Aviva, Dana Haqjoo as Pharaoh and Greg Barnett as NotMoses.

The cast also includes Jasmine Hyde as the Princess, Joe Morrow as Feripoti, Thomas Nelstrop as Moses, Niv Petel as Rameses and Leon Stewart as the Rabbi.

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.

NotMoses is an important work that answers the question that, according to Sinyor, has troubled mankind throughout the ages: “Does oral sex constitute adultery?”

After graduating from the National Film and Television School, award winning film-maker Gary Sinyor was commissioned by Eric Idle to write Leon the Pig Farmer. Sinyor went on to win the Venice International Film Festival’s Critics Choice Award and the Evening Standard Award for Best Newcomer.
