THE MOON THE MOON
Stay and let them heal you. Or go with the Moon and live.
a co-production with Curve, Leicester
"The Moon The Moon" toured March-June 2009
"As beautiful and as enigmatic as the moon itself... a company that has always combined infinite thoughtfulness with theatrical flair." The Guardian
"By turns funny, shocking, daring and never less than brilliantly acted.... The writing is dense and poetic and the whole experience rewarding. The Moon The Moon is theatre at its absolute best." ***** whatsonstage.com
"There's no denying the passing beauty of The Moon The Moon or its power to disturb... All four actors deliver flawless performances." The Stage
"A brilliant piece of work from this highly original company" The Journal
A man stands on the edge, at the shoreline. He's holding a plastic bag that steams with the Christmas dinner he’s made - even though it's February. It’s going dark.
He thinks he'll walk across the water to see his wife's family – maybe ask for their forgiveness. He thinks he's been driving, alone, for months, living in his camper van. He thinks the Moon has been following him. On some nights, he thinks they talk to each other.
And someone finds him there, tells him they can help him and they take him in. And now he’s locked in a cellar, wearing someone else’s pyjamas, and he doesn’t know anymore if he’s been kidnapped or is being looked after. And the Moon is still with him, singing to him, desperate for him to join her.
There is no more time. You have to choose. Stay here and let them heal you. Or go with the Moon, and live.....
