Serious Moonlight

TEN MINUTE PLAY- Grace makes a misguided attempt to console her cousin Margaret on prom night, but Grace has motives beyond just a desire to make Margaret feel better. Part of the Bowie Cycle, inspired by the lyrics of David Bowie's song Let's Dance.

Serious Moonlight

Recommended by

  • Claudia Haas: Serious Moonlight

    There’s some serious “good girl-bad girl” vibes in this remarkable play about expectations, proms, cool, and teen girls. McClain captures an accurate description of the confusion of the teen years and provides a beautiful two-hander of nuance, nostalgia and truths. Dear high schools: produce this.

    Grace, who has a reputation for being a good girl, breaks out of that stereotype by climbing on her cousin's roof with vodka in tow for herself and cousin Margaret. Grace insists on crashing an after-prom party that Margaret has been invited to, but Margaret refuses to go with her. Finally Grace is persuasive, but her daredevil tactics backfire at the last minute, a nice twist. Loved the line: "don't name your kid after a virtue because she'll do nothing but disappoint."

    Being a Bowie fan I could not resist reading this play by McClain Full of energy, the dialogue between the two characters is electric. A big twist kicks in half way through which leads on to a great finale. I wonder if they got to put on their red shoes and dance the blues? Great!
