Moses,The Author

He freed his people.

     Can he free himself?

 

 

MOSES, THE AUTHOR is a humorous and poignant exploration of the man who led the Jews to the Promised Land -- a family man and a writer .

He's not happy with the Bible, but to make a better Bible he must become a better man. 

A love story, with scrolls.

 

Few plays have tackled the Bible; fewer have done it in a way that is both funny and poignant. MOSES,THE AUTHOR presents this towering biblical figure as a tormented artist beset with writer's block as he struggles to finish the Bible while coping with both family trouble (a gay son, rocky marriage, distant mother) and God trouble (his relationship to God seems, like his marriage, to be on the rocks). 

 

 

 

"A favorite compliment I've been paid about MOSES,THE AUTHOR," says playwright Andrew Heinze, "is that it balances comedy and gravity. The audience can laugh and cry and imagine the Bible as the product of a real author with a real family and real problems. Sadly, the Bible has often been used as a weapon. This play disarms it and allows everyone to enjoy a story about its origins. I think Moses would appreciate that."

 

 

 

Here is what people are saying about MOSES, THE AUTHOR:

 

I thought the writing was brilliant, the performances - the entire cast - were simply marvelous and the 80-90 minutes passed so quickly that I would have been perfectly happy to stay for another half hour to see more of it. -- Helena A. 

 

Great show! The story was focused and always kept my interest.  Great performances from the cast, and the audience was engaged throughout. -- Robert M. 

 

I really enjoyed MOSES, THE AUTHOR last night. I went to Catholic schools and learned stuff they didn't teach!
It was funny and real, and most of all made them into normal people that we could all identify with --- not always easy to do. -- Marina B. 
 

I enjoyed the production (yesterday) very much, as did the rest of the audience. It was fun, literate and honest in every respect. Thank you! -- Howard G. 


I really enjoyed the performance last night of "Moses, The Author." I was impressed with the cast, and particularly I found the Gershey/Moses scenes very engaging and moving. -- Andy M. 

 

 I LOVED "Moses"!!  The accolades are well deserved.  I look forward to the next incarnation of it...Off-Bway?? I hope so! -- Chris.C.
