THE MOON THE MOON
a euphoric heartbreaker lit by a singing moon.....
written by Clare Duffy, Jon Spooner and Chris Thorpe
A man stands on the edge of the shore. He’s made Christmas dinner which steams gently in the carrier bag he’s holding. It’s February. He’s going to walk across the water and apologise to his family who he hasn’t spoken to in years.
And then he’s locked in a cellar, wearing someone else’s pyjamas. Upstairs there’s another man and a woman who 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, hoping he’ll join her.
Slipping between realities, The Man doesn't know if he's actually being looked after or has been kidnapped. In either instance he must choose whether to be healed by his captors and live or to go with The Moon and love.....
The Moon The Moon is about loving and losing. It’s about those moments in our lives when the truth seems impossible and you feel so much it actually hurts. But you wouldn’t give those moments up because on the other side, if you can get there, is a whole new beautiful beginning.
The Moon The Moon is without a shadow of a doubt our most ambitious, bold and beautiful work to date.
Welcome to the show. We hope you can make it.
