Details

East End Muslim Mahmoud Nassir is an ordinary family man whose life is turned upside down when he discovers that not only is he adopted, but that his birth parents are Jewish. The resulting cultural and religious chaos leads to an uproarious and insightful comedy about race, prejudice, confusion and what it really means to be yourself. Packed full of great songs including I'm a Jew, Sexy Burka and Put a Fatwa on it. A crowd-funded production enabled through Kickstarter.
