The Moon The Moon
13 May 2009
to 16 May 2009 Courtyard Theatre
A haunting and darkly witty new play about loving, losing and beautiful new beginnings - lit by a singing moon.
A man stands on the edge of the shore. He’s made Christmas dinner. It’s February. He’s going to walk across the water and apologise to his wife’s family. And then he’s locked in a cellar, wearing someone else’s pyjamas. Upstairs, his self-appointed doctor and nurse say they can help him. Heal him. And the Moon, who has been watching him wander out of his mind with loss, sings to him, desperate for him to join her.
Slipping between realities, the man doesn’t know if he’s actually being looked after or has been kidnapped. In either instance,
there isn’t much time. He must choose whether to be healed by his captors and live, or to go with the Moon and love.
