Man and Moon

Recommended by

  • Brynn Hambley: Man and Moon

    A gorgeous piece exploring change, loss, grief, and death through the eyes of two people who have experienced so much hurt and yet still hold so much hope. What an unlikely and yet perfect pairing these two characters make-- they are so different and yet their differing experiences are what make the similar ones all the more significant. MAN AND MOON feels like when you fell asleep in the car as a child and your parent carried you to bed. Necessary reading for anyone coping with big life changes.

    Stunningly beautiful. The story of two unlikely united by the common enemy of impending mortality and a refusal to give up hope, MAN AND MOON is a seamless combination of reality and magic that takes you to that special place beyond the stars where few plays dare to tred.

    A powerful story of finding human connection in a place that is at once the worst place to be, and also the most normal place to be, at least for Luna. “Man and Moon” does a phenomenal job of making the universe small and the people in it enormous.
