The Man in the Moone
Developed in association with Hertford Theatre, with additional support from Beaford Arts and The Bike Shed Theatre
Dreaming of a better life, a man abandons everything he knows and embarks on an epic journey towards the moon. It takes him from the neon smog of the city to the heights of a treacherous mountain and beyond. Weaving myth, absurd humour and a unique visual style, THE MAN IN THE MOONE is a sublimely ridiculous tale about our insatiable desire to venture into the unknown.
Supported using public funding by Arts Council England.
