Moses, My Love
Synopsis:
Moses, My Love arises from a deeply Jewish soul. Its overall tone is not like a "biblical epic," but up close and personal, to make the characters as human as possible. It's meant to make the audience comfortable with the story in a way that they feel, "OK, that happened." as a sign of the deep affection with which Jews of all ages have held Moses, the great man is called Moses, My Love by his mother, Yocheved; his Midian wife, Tsiporah; and even by God when bestowing the Ten Commandments. the piece follows the book of exodus pretty straightforwardly, although it is punctuated by light, comedic sequences. the story, of course, is about reward and punishment: God's rules. If you do what your are supposed to do, you get rewarded. If you don't, you get punished.
