Hitting 101% funding by the deadline, Infidel the Musical will now proceed! "The Infidel" is a musical with book & lyrics by David Baddiel and music by Erran Baron Cohen. It tells the story of an ordinary British Muslim man, Mahmoud Nassir, who discovers that he is adopted and, worse, his birth parents were Jewish! The resulting cultural and religious chaos leads to an uproarious and insightful comedy of identity, race, prejudice and confusion.Think Book of "Middle East" ;-)
The team needed to raise £55,000 and turned to crowd-funding site KickStarter which nis now also being used by The Globe to try and fund a tour.
